minimalism: what's it all about?

In a world full of shit

murders + robberies
+ anomie
+ 50 quadzillion people
and a hundred zoozles thousand
more being born every
day

sometimes
it's nice just to sit
and stare at a
brick with
blue paint on
it.

--Carl Miller Daniels (This poem also appears in my book SHY BOYS AT HOME, published by Chiron Review Press way back in 1999.)
