Life, simply
Not when you want it
Not when you desperately, crazily,
look for it
Least of all when you ache for it
In the loneliest mornings,
The most abandoned hour
Life, simply
Awaiting you casually
in the booth of that diner
The layers slowly stripping
The effort, the struggle,
the insane awareness of itself
Life, simply
unannounced
Not to be advertised,
Not a story to be told
(forgive the vanity of these words)
Rather, life simply lived
In sharing an avocado toast
