Pablo Neruda - Melancholy Inside Families

My coffee already turned cold and I say thank you.
My body can't handle much more and I say thank you.
My stomach hurts and I say thank you.
People I didn't expect to hear from reach out and I say thank you.
I am uncomfortable and I say thank you.
I will be with my 4-person family and nobody else for Thanksgiving for the first time maybe ever, and I am saying thank you.
I will crochet on the plane and I am saying thank you with every stitch and every incorrect move.
I will have an aisle seat and I say thank you.
Even as every passenger's crotch passes my line of sight on their way to the bathroom, I will say thank you thank you thank you. I didn't want to see your crotch, but thank you.
