If I only have today

 To live, then I'll imagine things are just right. I can only be in one place at a time, but my mind is anywhere I want to go. I can zoom in to whatever I want in the room inside my head. It can bring me a smile if I choose or I can find the saddest and most morose feelings of dread and let them be my companions.

I can't control so many things, what funny beings we are to think we can. As I sit I dwell on what's ahead instead of what's already in place. I don't know anything, I really have no solid ground. I find comfort in that, knowing I can't change much about my circumstances, save my attitude alone. 

Some silly things I in my presence right now: fake flowers, maximum occupancy sign with 113, an empty happy birthday poster. What fun we have trying to make things pleasant, safe or make sense when less might truly be more.
