strange gratitudes

I haven’t thought
of
God
enough
and unlike when we do
I seem to be waiting
for
a good time to notice

and there are small moments in the day
in the hour
when
something otherwise unnoticed has
happened
some small niceness
some goodness unanticipated
and
I say thank you
so
quiet
that we’re barely heard
