The old story is boring.
I want to fall in love
with a new reality
that is readily visible
reachable
I want to fall in love
with art I have not yet discovered
or painted
with a new way of cooking food
to enjoy at my table
with candles lit
with shoes that have not been designed
or maybe they have
but are hidden somewhere
beyond the reach of my fingertips
I want to fall in love
with a new way of living
where dreams are always in the air
and people are treated fairly
I want to discover the works of a great designer
and think
I have been waiting for you my whole life!
What’s so bad about imperfection?
is that it’s so close to it,
but doesn’t go all the way
I want to see someone
finally take it over the top
I want to see coffee shops, cafes and restaurants
built for the new generation
yes, those of us who are concerned
about the people working in the kitchen
I want to see something beyond facade
layers to peel off and be ever more excited
I want to fall in love
with this generation
because good is not good enough
and imperfection is completely and totally
unsatisfying
