a better way to live

i could stare at tree branches
blowing around in the wind
all day and never get bored.
they look free and happy in ways
that we only pretend to be
and I don�t really get why.
why can�t we just bend
with the winds and turn
with the tides like the rest
of existence instead of
always expecting things to go
the way we imagine them going?
What�s so great about the way
we imagine things should be
that isn�t made better by the way
things really are?
If I was henry miller
I could explain this in a way
that would make more sense.
There I go again.
