How Is Your Life?

"How's your wife?"

My father would present this riddle/joke

to anyone in the vicinity.

The answer, known by his children

who had heard it all before,

was: "I do."

 

And while you ponder that

I will tackle the more pertinent question:

How is your life?
It might be the case

that an enlightened soul's answer today

is the same as it would have been, say,

this time last year.

But for more ordinary souls

today's answer more likely reflects

the deep angst and endless sorrow

and recurring anxiety

caused by the disruption

of everything we thought

we knew to be true.
