Next time.…

Next time.

Next time …

I want to be famous…
smart…
tal­ent­ed, maybe,
or rich enough not to care!

Next time,
I want to be sim­ple.
No com­pli­ca­tions -
no trou­bled dreams!

No wish­es keep­ing me awake at night,
dri­ving sleep away
with thoughts of want­i­ng more!

I’d rather be a whore
than live with lim­i­ta­tions -
des­per­a­tion,
need­ing more!

I want to do it all again,
but dif­fer­ent!

This time with­out still­ness,
and the thought that goes with the silence of the night.

I want more things,
with less thought!
Eas­i­er dreams,
with­out the haunt!

Here’s to sim­ple,
and it’s earth­ly rewards.

Here’s to thought­less­ness,
and the free­dom it affords!
