That Guy (getting real)
I am listening to some hard bop
the music is complex
therefore, interesting
but, ultimately tiresome
this is the nature of complexity
is this why we search
so diligently for the simple?
complexity is easy to hide in
disguising lack
found everywhere
common and familiar
and as rarity creates value,
we mine this complexity for
small kernels, grains;
a simple phrase
a melody to embrace.
in the same fashion
we seek from life's complexity
a smile, a giggle,
a hug
