simple is all i ask
i am a minimalist at heart
unburdened by unnecessary noise
i only want the plainest things
stripped back to absolute essentials
i do not ask for much at all
just a basic morning routine and still air
a humble meal on a clear table
the purest form of ease
take my morning cup of black coffee for example
i do not want espresso or syrups or foam
just plain hot water passed through roasted beans
brewed in a glass cone using a washed cotton filter
with grounds processed to the exact consistency of sea salt
i prefer to wear simple solid t shirts every single day
nothing flashy or trendy or loud
just a basic crewneck cut from organic heavy cotton
with no tags no pocket no visible stitching
and a neckline that dips exactly one inch below the collarbone
my dinner preferences are equally unpretentious
a slice of sourdough toast with plain salted butter
provided the bread is fermented for thirty six hours
baked in a stone oven until the crust is mahogany
and sliced to a thickness of nineteen millimeters
i like my hair to look totally natural
like i just walked out into the wind without thinking
which requires three different texturizing sprays
applied in layers while drying it upside down on low heat
at a temperature calibrated to within two degrees
to achieve that precise unstyled texture
when i listen to music i only want the raw audio
no equalizers or artificial bass boosts cluttering the sound
just a direct connection through silver core cables
wired to custom drivers angled directly at my ears
at an angle measured with a protractor
so the acoustic space feels totally neutral
even my garden is completely wild and effortless
i just let native plants grow wherever they choose
as long as the wild violets form a uniform border
measured against a string line only i can see
and the stray clover is hand pulled every third morning
to preserve the appearance of organic chaos
you see i am just a simple person with a simple wish
for everything around me to be completely uncomplicated
down to the most microscopic and rigid detail
