Simplicity

We went camping over the weekend,

up in the mountains with the wolves,

we have a little pop-up camper,

it is nice;

feels like the clubhouse

you always wanted as a kid

but could never have;

it’s got a little refrigerator

and an air conditioner,

although we didn't

need it,

it was cold and rainy,

but that was okay,

we played cards,

kind of like the early days (in Hawaii),

when we were young and broke

with two little babies and cards

were all we could afford,

so we’d play night after endless night,

occasionally watching the little

black and white television we bought

at the base exchange,

three channels were all

we could get,

and that was all we ever needed,

now we spend thousands of dollars,

travel hundreds of miles,

living in an oversized box,

just to find the simplicity

of those younger days;

when we were poor

but too stupid

to realize it;

of course we’re a little to old

for sex in a box,

but we manage the best

we can;

and it’s ok too.
