creature comforts
are different for me
I do not require what most demand.
I do not take, cajole, or sway…
not on purpose, anyway.
what I most desire
an escape from the mire
of the mundane, traveling the same corridors
again and again
the view from this window is
the same today
as yesterday, and the day before but
I like how they say
how good I am at what I do
if they only knew the journeys I have had
inside my head
if they only knew the pitfalls and dangers
adventures and creatures
monsters with teeth
if they only knew
how good I am at what I do
while away from their corridors
maybe it would matter
maybe not so much
creature comforts
thousands of miles of prose
resonation
levels of creation and equal contemplation,
my creature comforts

This is so poignant. It’s like you’re in love.
