What A Happy Naked Life! ! ! Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is nice to know
that they have parted ways

at least they are finally
honest
on such an irreconcilable
differences

neither is true
all is falling out of love
everyone wants to find
love
all over again
as thought there is really
any, true and everlasting,

which of course, i never believe
to be so,
but just the same, just like all of
them i took the gamble
of being married,

at first happy, then a little bit pissed off,
but i took side with silence
tolerance, tolerance and more of that tolerance
after all, who is perfect?


the formula is know yourself, get to know yourself
much better, until you begin
to understand the other,

then you know how perfect is it just to ignore,
focus on yourself, love yourself, love more
of this self,

no expectations, yes no expectations,
born naked, die naked as well.
what a happy naked naked life!
