ignorance is bliss

i forget to watch the news

for a few

days,

taking a break

from the death count,

the wars,

the disease,

the shootings and hijackings.

i turn off

the phone, the internet

and put some

music on.

i bake a cake

or two

and put them on the window

sill to cool.

ignorance is bliss. you

should try it

too.
