What Living Costs

I used to measure the day by what it took from me.“Now I measure it by what I let it keep.“

Is that living, or just better accounting?“I don't know yet. I only know“the first way ran out, the way a house“runs out of rooms nobody airs.“

So I open one. That's all today was.“One window. One room. I called it enough“because the alternative was calling it nothing,“and I am done doing that math.“
