Simplistically Yours.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

let us make this
simple enough to get
the connection

we do not need an
expensive bridge to
connect us

i have a wooden boat
and you have a paddle
i have a lamp and
you have a matchstick

we do not need something
more expensive and
sophisticated that all
these

if indeed we love
each other
we do not need any
ritual at all

there is a river
i have a boat and you have
the paddle
i have a lamp and you
have a matchstick

and so what else do we
need? there is that grass
that shade
so why do have to have
a bed?
