I try to understand
the mechanics of this daily action,
what is it that prompts
this same movement,
and how then
does this, in turn
evolve into that
reaction
and why...

oh why does it
continually repeat itself
right down to the exact moment
when the bells chime?

Still, it seems to be
just a thin line
that separates yesterday
from today

and tomorrow again,
it will be the same way
the motion,
perpetually carrying on;
progressing forward
down the same beaten trail

flailing numbly
through  this existence

circling
mechanistically
in vortical undulations

relentlessly
unrealistic.



it's better than I could have planned, it's made me who I am...(Trace Adkins)

Gentle Spirit,I seen an episode of Steinfeld where George decided to do everything the opposite of what he would normally do. It was hilarious and it sure changed his day! Beautiful expression as usual! :-)
