Grind

Three years ago, he found a baby in a trash bag about a mile off the road. A young couple from Indianapolis adopted her in a storm of media a year later. He walks past the spot every weekend on his way to the river. He stops and looks and takes into account how time and growth have changed the geometry of the shadows under the scrub. He wouldn’t have seen the bag if it had happened this year. The grass is too tall. The rotten log has collapsed. This spring has been overcast. That baby girl would have died this year. A lot of things would be different if it had happened this year. The train is roaring through the valley. The wind rattles the poplar leaves above him. He would’ve been consumed in other thoughts if it had happened today. He never would have seen it. All he would have seen was the past. His wife. The tubes in her nose. He’s crying now, consumed in the slow grind of his past.

Grinding is what I always do. Well, I do not really have anything to do anymore. I mean, I am not a talented person, so if I want to be better than anyone, then I need to grind. I work hard and I play hard as well. Sure, it does take a lot to grind all day, but I am okay with it. I am happy that I work hard, it is the thing that allows me to enjoy my life.
