Simple pleasures

Simple pleasures
(The way this landfill
Looks in setting light
Driving the speed limit
Because you have the time
Roaming the hills at sunrise
Because you never slept
Watching those couples handhold
Feeling only freedom yourself
The sun flickering through
Swaying tree branches backlit blue
Walking into an empty house
Because everyone else is busy
Sleeping away the lonely hours
Then waking up happy solitude
The way the bass vibrates
Throughout your bones
Carrying a secret
That is actually secret
A fresh haircut
That’s rejuvenating
Feeling warm eyes
Massaging you
Being in that right place
At that right time)
Makes life worth living.
