As We Are
Can't we just be pretty
as we are- and comfortable too
with
clean faces,
soft hair,
loose clothes
(easy to wash and wear clothes)
good shoes, good shoes where toes
can wiggle,
or bare feet...
Can't we just be
low maintenance-
saving our money for books,
and stockpiling time for enjoying
art
each other
or the great outdoors
in every mood & weather
watching
& walking
listening to bird song...
Feeling the wind in our hair
and under their wings.
