Simpler
Part 1
1.
When life was simpler, everything was free. A trip to
the candy store brought much joy. I merely needed
to think of what I wanted; ask; then take my pick.
2.
When life was simpler, mine was the Earth and every-
-thing that was in it. I was young and often trespassed
into that young world before me . There was no price
to pay.
3.
Now captive to this place more full of weeping, I understood.
Finally: an air ticket is what I needed to fly away; not at once
the wings that let me have the Earth.
I am trapped; confined.
