When you put it like that, it sounds romantic

from 'Antilamentation' by Dorianne Laux:

You've traveled this far on the back of every mistake,
ridden in dark-eyed and morose but calm as a house
after the TV set has been pitched out the upstairs
window. Harmless as a broken ax. Emptied
of expectation. Relax.
