it's the simple things
that I remember at the end of the day
her waiting outside for me
arriving home at the end of the workday
lounging in the splendid air of springtime
shedding cherry blossom trees creating snow globe visions
a cat cries for attention
a hole dug by the dog
conversation about happiness together
my partial detachment from it all
me outside of me
wondering if things ever really will be
simple after all
