baggage
as a youth his
life fit in a shabby trunk
a few shirts- one dress-up,
a spare pair of shoes
some books and
a Swiss army knife.
as a youth life was
simple. a few callow
friends, a few skills
learned at school,
a few useful things.
simple and happy.
time passes. things
pile up. too many clothes,
too many books, too much
everything. sophisticate
friends, intricate skills,
complex and happy.
