for Laura "the astonishingly attractive barista" I live as simply as possible for An impossible old thing ready to live more Or better anyway by quality Compensating life for my lack of quantity Entertaining the possibility Of it all after all in the fall before and Entertained by my own impossibility Certain only of my uncertainty But certainly the better now to understand You my new friend who spend the afternoon with me Falling sun at noon calling to the rising moon When the evening comes then becoming poetry +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXII
