I love the Aquarian voice in this...

Much lighter and more childlike than some of your more serious poems... I dig it, man.

Beautiful, HSC

I felt the beauty of the simplicity and the little things that amaze us and comfort us in life...life can be so simple, and yet so worth appreciating. Simplicity and small things in life can teach us profundity.

And this poem certainly has an Aquarian flair...

Keep up the good work!

Thank you.

I like how it is outside of time and space;
he is seeing all these things, then sitting at his computer,
and the scenes he remembers are equal to his present moment.

the movies "Barfly" and "Factotum" are also based on his life,
or the life of his alter ego, culled from various stories, novels, and poems.
