Shake your salt off

Some days, the victories rarely bob up.
Strung along the buoys of rituals and chores,
strung out,
you find yourself adrift.
But those rare moments where
circumstance and luck prevail,
are enough to shake your salt off
and maybe you can keep paddling
back to shore.

(Which is to say, the only productive thing I’ve done this morning is find Keira’s lost glue stick.)
