Taste.
See.
Smell.
Everything in every way.
The sunshine on the desk,
The papers on the table,
The relations to the whole wide world,
Understood.
If everything was taken in.
Focus afforded.
Fewer things to enjoy increase the joy within,
Increase and deepen the knowledge,
The depth of the mind.
Every detail separated,
Pondered upon,
Understood.
Consequence considered,
Importance integrated,
Relevance remembered,
No matter how little,
Because importance is bigger than mass.
All importance is lost, with the tiny details,
As the myriads,
Turning to one dreaded task,
Passing at such great speeds,
Slipping into oblivion,
Repeat.
With focus well spent,
Time can tell its lessons,
Each day will weigh more,
With less,
Done deliberately,
Pleasurably,
Memorably,
And with more enjoyed.
Less filler,
More insight.
To know all there is to know,
Purity is paramount,
"Simplicity, simplicity."
But
Back out again and jazz and music and moving and working and
Regretting and more and more worry and more and stress and
Exhaustion and improvement and neglect and regression and standstill and
Scolding and forgetting and listening and looking and not hearing and seeing and
Sick and sick and tired and yawning and daydreaming and acting and
Ignoring and learning and knowing and receiving and
Getting more tasks and assignments and dread and things and regrets and lazy and
Sleeping and awake and lonely and cold and moving and watching the clock and
Leaving and waving and saying goodbye and home and seeing the time and heart dropping and Fear for tomorrow and the morning and the next hour and twenty minutes and
Dread and procrastinations and more of the same and
Internet and devices and homework and Twitter and homework but
Instagram and email and homework and music and exhaustion and boredom and dread and
Homework and vacancy and tears and hunger and wishes and regrets and
Would and should and could and will and won't and probably will anyways and
Alone and tired and quiet and procrastination and daydreams and
Nightdreams and toothbrush and tired and journal and brief and
Uninterested and annoyed and mirrors and not changing and bed and covers and
12:00
Calm.
Interest.
Tranquility.
Peace.
If everything were not so rushed,
But drawn out comfortably in the time surrounding the day.
If the activities were staccato,
Separate and complete,
Instead of one activity rushing into the next.
Instead of one hour blending into the next.
Instead of one day, month, year, bleeding into the next.
If everything were remembered in detail,
Related to the whole in depth,
And left as it was,
Life would be enjoyed.
A life enjoyed,
A life lived.
A life lived,
A life well spent,
Without the
Apprehension and tasks and disinterest and filler and clubs and groups and homework
But including the necessary peace,
Reflection,
Understanding.
Any moment enjoyed, comprehended, or contemplated,
Any moment worth living,
Can be found here,
"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity."
