the meaning of life is hidden
inside a bag of potato chips,
in the gift of a cereal box,
in the new noise of an old car
before getting stuck on the freeway,
in the zeros of a bank account,
no money in the middle of the month,
in a mediocre love poetry
more honest than a masterpiece

the meaning of life is hidden
in small, tiny letters
of a small print of an ad
with unicorns and flowers and jokes
that make passersby laugh
