LEARNING TO LOVE LESS.

Eventually essentials will become leaner
And we will have to learn
To compromise
A little;
To promise
Less than we once
Had access to,
And expect the same in return.

Adjuncts,
That once functioned
As afterthoughts,
Will become
More important,
And what we thought we needed
In a deal
Will be revealed as false.

Initially
We’ll miss
The intrinsic
Nature of whichever archetype
Excited us,
But as
Time elapses
We’ll amass
Enough insight to see passed this

And generally
Contend
Ourselves with the ancillary
Items
Of life
That have always been near
But had previously appeared
Tedious.
