simple

"A break in the clouds. The Blue
outline of the mountains.
Dark yellow of the fields.
Black river. What am I doing here,
lonely and filled with remorse?

I go on casually eating from the bowl
of raspberries. if I were dead,
I remind myself, I wouldn't be
eating them. It's not so simple.
It is that simple."

Simple- Raymond Carver.
