a room with a view

your needs
are simple.
a bed.
a house,
food. a job with
which to earn
your keep without
asking others for
money.
a comfortable pair
of shoes,
and jeans.
another good book.
a good movie.
love is in the mix
too, but it's too
elusive and complicated
to even understand.
but on the list
it goes. someone
to kiss and who
will kiss you in return
without regret.
friendships, of
course.
maybe a nice
dog who doesn't
bark too much
and thinks the world
of you.
a strong cup of coffee
with which to drink
while pondering
it all.
a room with a view.
