Like many things in life
it is advised to strive
not for complexity and haste,
rather for simplicity and good taste.
A poem is best read slow
to feel the words whole
and to better aid us
to love the poem’s cadence.
Food for body, like food for thought,
as I have been taught,
digests better when taken slow
in small bites, as we all know.
And let it be said
that together in bed
we want to take it slow,
and get carried by the flow.
There’s a time for ecstasy
and a time, that’s right for me,
being in the timeless glow
of really going slow.
