Balancing the Books

Life has taught me
belief is futile
(How I need
that sensation
to walk through
the world!) and
faith is an illusion
best suited for those
who sit and wait
and whittle away
the hours to their
inevitable end; but
that still does not
erase the feeling
that all of this
ought to be
for Something
or the knowledge
that all the certainty
in the world
is never as absolute
as the miracle
of the following day.
