All I Need, an Accounting

Three rooms small,

and at 90 degree angles,

a few walls. A ceiling

overhead keeping the

warm air in and cold

air out. Space to

wash, eat and sleep.

Front door and rear,

two windows facing

West, afternoon viewing

sunshine and clouds

outside is best. WiFi

cell phone and TV for

worldwide connectivity.

Food stuff shelved

and refrigerated,

enough to sustain me

for several weeks.

Paper towels

and TP to wipe up

daily messes made

by my two pups and

me.

A few bucks

banked from Social

Security to pay rent

and utilities on time.

I’ve got it made in

this old age retired

place of mine.

I use a sturdy cane

for balanced mobility.

Needn’t worry about

a car anymore, got

the whole world

and all I need right

here a few steps

in front of me.

And like the eggs

bubbling in water

on the stove top

right now for me,

it all boils down

to simplicity...

Oh yeah, and a few
good books to read.
