Complication

Complication

The second  awakenings

From the first birth sleep

The world is strange

Without the language to make it mean

The only communication is scream

Someone solves the pain

Or doesn't

Clothing with buttons or pins

Then language

Spoken the written

Full of rules

At each step into work and money

See and relations

Now computers and legality

Fears of loss and strangers

Then imagination turns simple

Throw these away

The rich get it all done

Including tents set up

At Burning Man

Then home to yachts

Or mansions

Then age sets in

Time for something simple

A basic roof with quiet

Books not glowing screens

Escape 

Into a wilderness of thought

A private stream of clear consciousness

Just before breakfast

Wishing the world

Would let you summer walk outside

In just a loincloth

Without calling the cops
