Simple Is Beautiful

It is a vase.
The vase is red.
It has two handles.
The vase is round.
It is smooth.
I think it is smooth.
It looks smooth
Because of the way light
Reflects off of it.
I want to find out.
I want to touch it.
But I can't
Because the sign says:
"Do not touch".
Even if it breaks
There are others like it.
It is a common vase.
Plain.
Ordinary.
Simple.
But that is why
It is seen as beautiful art
Because simple
Is beautiful.
