this day to day business
I never understood the simple things,
such as the way of the world.
So I settled for bits of knowledge.
How to sew a button or climb a tree.
I read voraciously, hoping for clues,
but the philosophers were all too
tied up in the way of the world.
Who cares for little things..
I make coffee in the morning,
button my shirt smartly, and
wear comfortable shoes to dinner.
To take them off slowly and much later.
Even though it never happens.
This is how to behave. Rightly.
This is how we begin. Slowly.
This is how it ends.
