The Hi-Desert Hideaway



My life is very small
And yet all I can do somehow
To hang on and get through
When small seems better after all
No time to be a pig
Not wanting anything fancy
Bigger would be too big

I may look haunted and Lancey
But what you see is true
It took a lot to look a lot
Like Leonardo though
Da Vinci not DiCaprio
Like nowadays I do
But what an adventure to be
Me eventually

I never wanted to be tall
So I would only grow
To five-foot-ten back then because
That is what Grandpa was
And that was tall enough I thought
For me to be since he
Was how I wanted to be too

I never quite got fat
Though I worried so much I might
But I worried about
A lot of things that I found out
And brought along with me
I found what had been wrong with me
Was knowing what I knew
And I knew my mind was not right
But was right about that

What with my father a hitman
And with me a madman
Not wanting to be haunted but
Growing up the hard way
Knowing things that got too big for
Me to know anymore
In my ever after all now

Very small seems like how at
The Hi-Desert hideaway

A great revelation about yourself in a poem that makes sense to a lot of people.

I know for me, the older I get, the less stuff I want. The simpler the better.
