Passing Remark

In scenery I like flat country.
In life I don’t like much to happen.


In personalities I like mild colorless people.
And in colors I prefer gray and brown.


My wife, a vivid girl from the mountains,
says, “Then why did you choose me?”


Mildly I lower my brown eyes—
there are so many things admirable people do not understand.
