Contento

tomatoes
onions
salt, pepper, curry
water, a touch of olive oil
garbanzo and blanco beans
a little bit of noodles
simmering in heat
and in one bite i must confirm
i'm in love with my own cooking.

clean sheets, fluffed pillow
haven't had those in two weeks.
my life is good when i don't let things
bring me down or
keep me up at night

this year i'm welcoming the winter
rather than shun it
this year i'm excited for christmas
rather than dread it
and if it's get cold enough i'll just
hide under my blanket
and bask in the fact that i am myself
rather than hate it

tomatoes
onions
salt, pepper, curry
had only enough to enjoy and now
i'm eager to sleep
under my blanket
