a routine is not boring
despite what boring people say
“you’re not that interesting”
they told me this, out of the blue
Is that the blue sky or the blue ocean?
they’re like sharks,
or seagulls that poop on me
Anyway, a routine, is like god’s hands
shaping my mind, my body, and my spirit
with philosophy, tension, and silence
I like to listen to people
but I prefer my own world, to theirs
the difference being, I don’t talk about mine
People want People to listen
and I find this most interesting.
As I get older, my plans get interesting.
When things don’t work out
I take-up other things
hobbies are more than time killers.
What you do, every day, becomes you
so be careful what you do.
I go to the library, and sit there, into the late evenings
working out my philosophy
Other people are going out for drinks
and discussing who is going out with whom
Boring
but I don’t tell them that
I prefer to watch librarians from when I was 10
they look the same, and act the same
I go to the gym, and I read books on the treadmill
I’m losing weight
I bought a piano, and my soul came alive
I deal with difficult coworkers
with my new strategy, I don’t protest
the whole world is protesting, and not doing a damn thing
I ride my bicycle into the summer evenings
And I play chess against my computer
I’m not much different than my middle school self
I read books about the religious experience
and think about getting into a relationship
I don’t know why I haven’t
Probably, because I always feel my time is wasted
but I know my people are out there
it’s just difficult to find them
I like to believe I’m doing important things
that matter
for me, and only for a few
Writing stories is a way to share my interior world
Even I, can’t take credit
for that.
Clean, quiet, fulfilling read 🙏
