come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.

I hear in this ballad the embrace of a thing-a position much larger than us–responsibility, radical practice of equality, a place always in regard of our “constitutive interdependency”, the place we can stare at and interrogate.
