There Is Nothing Much To Go Deeper Into Life... Poem by RIC BASTASA

There Is Nothing Much To Go Deeper Into Life...



everything has a synonym
life has
a synonym for good food,
sushi,
uni, atami

a platter of jasmine rice,
beside a
hot chocolate
sardines with lots of
tomatoes
fried

in fact the synonyms have
become substitutes

for our definition of something
good and beautiful
less the garnishing of truth
to make
a synonym of a perfect day
just a pinch of sunlight
in my forehead
and then a bigger shade of
the penumbra of trees and
horizons

less the butterflies
that flit and then gone....
