a ball of once

Post by mtmynd » May 11th, 2008, 1:36 am

a ball of once

i used to watch for complications
until i found it too complicating
sorting out the complicated
from the complex did
nothing for my complexion
so i resorted to simplicity
but lost many acquaintances
due to my lack of interest
in their complications
which i no longer had

just
say
no

to logarithmic logjams
of logistical loggerheads,
to labyrinthine laboratories
labeled laboriously long,
to voluminous validations
of volition...

simplify??

this is something i'm learning slowly, mtmynd.

I think my worry is that I'll do it too well and fall into genuine apathy.

I enjoyed this little piece. not too complicated.

yeah cec, my motto for years has been: "Never Complify when you can Simplicate."
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

i've been lying in quiet after reading your replies hoping i didn't become complicated after reading them. i don't think i have. but time is insistent and it delivers the sometimes unnecessary-ist of messages. we heed them or pass them off as intrusions. i try to heed the simplification of acceptance in all its diversity. it works mostly. thanks.
