I know why I could not be happy.
I could count
take stock
tally
enumerate
qualify and quantify
calculate and justify
and create a list
at least as long
as my arm and your arm and his arm and his arm and her arm and her arm.
A trail of trials laid end to end —
longer than some,
but not longer than most
I know many ways
that I could not be happy,
but they have not yet buried
the reasons I could.
