COMPLACENT DAY
Lazy Tuesday afternoon
Dreary day indeed
Outside
Cold and damp
Strange shade of navy grey
Emits from overcast clouds
My belly
Full of delicious schnitzel
Succulent pork cutlet
Fried in milky crusted decadence
The small screen TV
Volume silenced
I can’t understand them anyway
I watch the German version of the Travel Channel
Young Ame’dee’ naps peacefully
I marvel at the local wonders
Not taken for granted
By this wandering poet
Such exotic destinations tickle my trance
Lush wine country
Aside the famous Rhine
Bavaria
Towering snow covered Alps
Historic Berlin
Rustic old world charm
Time passes slowly
I am lost in the seduction
Lavish beauty surrounds me
In so many ways
My thirst for stimulation
Perception of exciting new places
Quenched
In complacent satisfaction
