We know it when we see it
Perfect
In the way that the sky
is everywhere, right overhead
and on the distant horizon,
grey and misty
behind clouds.
If you were at the beach perhaps
you’d be sad, but you aren’t.
You’re in your cozy, warm living room
looking out the big windows
at the chill and damp,
while snacking on a cheese and cracker.
Happy Hour is only a few minutes away,
so you smile at the rain,
and at this perfectly rainy day
and you think about her
looking through a rainy window
far away but near,
thinking and embracing
the same perfect feelings as you.
