I am beyond joking

But if I say something

That is accidentally funny

Please laugh, even if

You are laughing at my cluelessness.

Much about me is accidental.

I used to deny that.

I used to think that I was in control,

But in truth, I am like a tree or flower,

Growing up and down,

Reaching out for food and water and love.

Shining to the best of my ability.
