Dishes in the sink, means
that I have different priorities
Flies in the air, means
I have not taken out the trash
Paper scattered everywhere
means
I’m trying to think
I’ve enjoyed bachelorhood, just like I’ve enjoyed my education
Nobody wants to stay in the same place forever, even if it’s heaven.
Well, maybe that’s not true…
but the urge to move-on, is like the urge to pee.
I’ve let this place go
let myself go
trying to be literary.
I know so much about what I love
and now it’s time to love
what I don’t know.
Time to
walk back
to go forward.
It takes a heck of a man to change
Staying in a good place for too long
makes a man bad.
We have to get hurt to heal stronger
be hungry to enjoy a meal
Life, is more than what we feel
It’s where we go
who we know
what we do
How long, we hold onto,
until we can’t.
I fiddle with things
like a crab, carrying his shell
a house full of memories
thrown away, and kept
like photographs
or play things, from the past
Life begins, and dies
I walk on overgrown paths
that were well-worn
when I was young.

Sometimes, we are, stagnant, and, feel the need to, move on, away from that, but, we’re, totally, stuck, and, at times, we feel like, time flies by, too quickly, and, we want time to, slow itself down, but it, just, doesn’t…

The trick is to use all the time–not to have any regrets.

I can relate. I recently had this strange experience that has jolted me out of my comfort zone, but I still might need more, not sure. It has stirred my creativity, which I’m thankful for.

Yes, being jolted stimulates the creativity. I like what Bukowski says… “If you can’t write, do something else.”

I think today my brain will be toying with that line; the concept is quite evocative and provocative. I like that.

Yes–it’s often the fundamentals that allows us to become experts, and it’s the appreciation of simple things, that gives us the most joy, and being kind to others, rather than showing them how smart we are.
