Almost Unbearable

I love this I love this
I love this

I can barely stand being me
so many beautiful things
crouched in my living room

in my boxes in my closet
my dresser is a treasure chest

I should be kissing the earth
so lucky am I to be here
to be blessed with this cool breeze
my favorite window
my favorite couch
cooled eternal by my bargain fan

I am so lucky to know George Winston
to have nice housemates
who offer me ripe tomatoes
and warm wheat tortillas

to have this light filled home
to have a good memory
goodness is all around me
I am so lucky
