Simple
by Jared OrlandoSometimes I think of a
Simple Life
A movie without
Sound Effects
And a home
Without Frills.
I think of replacing the
Faux Finishes
With
Eggshell Whites
And walking on
Tree Branches
And
Leaves.
Being a simple
Post Office Clerk
All
Uniform and Steady.
Or
Settling Down
Inside of a
Stable World
Where color is dulled to
Avoid Distraction.
And these are things I
Think about, when my
Far-From-Simple
Life slows for a
Second's Breath
Causing me to
Simply Think
Of the impossible nature of a
"Lite" Version
Of a speeding
Railway Car. 05/27/2010 Posted on 05/27/2010
