Simplify


The world is simple
in a complex way.
—Zack Merrick



if you don't use it
give it away
if you read the book
pass it on
if it looks like clutter
take it away

but I like to collect
odds and ends—
souvenirs, rocks,
trophies, relics,
recollections
of where I've been

why simplify
why disturb
a tolerable clutter

why release, let go of,
chuck, toss out,
pitch away
my comfortable
mare's nest




Day 22

Prompt: complex

Oh the conundrum! I'm there . . . with the simplify, simplify (Thoreau) sign directly above my messes, whoops, collections!
