*excess "innovation"*

Whatever happened
to the basic suitcase

No
I do not want wheels
on my suitcase
No
I do not want compartments
in my suitcase
No
I do not want flair
on or in my suitcase

All I require
from a suitcase
is a basic box
that I can carry
Yet, that is nowhere to be found

Innovation in excess
leaves the basics
in the dust

-

*sufficiency and excess*

sufficiency
as opposed to excess
yields contentment

excess is without limit
sufficiency is bounded

house with known boundaries
can feel homely
house forever under construction
is never complete

@cyanessence

I admired your poem! Simplicity is starting to be a lost art..

I wish people could just get back to the basics like your poem discusses..

I felt honored to read this, Thank you for posting this..🌲
