(Catania) (Sicilia 7)

the thing is it’s easy.
for what reason everyone is so scared
I have no answer.
it’s easy because people are people
they help, love, work, try, eat, be, just like us.
they want, need, cherish, feel, care, just like us.

so the elitist in me gets knocked down
a few pegs every time I enter a market
and shy away from what is simple.
the needs and wants of life always are.

they are laid out perfectly,
just as innate as the hunger or thirst
I force myself into frequently to
test my resolve.
just as I resolve to be better
I also resolve to be!
