Analysis of A Simple Picture
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
A Simple Pucture
I’d like to cuddle with you
Next to a nice warm fire
While most of our world is asleep
On the other side of our door
At least this is the picture
I have seen within my dreams
We are finally together
Without caring what others think
And if this is just a dream
Please do not ever pinch me
Because I do not want to awake
To discover it is not real
Have you ever felt the same
Or shared any of these thoughts
Sometimes I even ask myself
Is this more than coincidence
When I think about the odds
I know its reality
They are not just bells and whistles
That I can hear inside my head
P.s.What would you say,
“IF I ask you …..”?
