Still Life

Perceive the inevitable.  Life will change but you will stay the same.  A memory that doesn’t grow. Nor evolve.  A moment trapped in time, manipulated by the mind.  Into a perfectly impossible moment.  Blessing or curse; depends on the day.  Driving life forward or living in the past.  Memories stop progression.  If there is anything that is impossible, it’s to recapture, relive, or change our history.  Moving forward is the meaning to moment.

Away…………..

“One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words;  it is expressed in the choices one makes … and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility”

~Eleanor Roosevelt

.

Away is good for me.

I brush my teeth, work out, go for a walk, talk to people, write, masturbate, shower, and read every day.

Away is bad for me.

I contemplate change, act single, smoke a lot, drink a lot, masturbate, barely eat, and eat crap every day.

.

A glimpse at what could be.

Do I remove the ring, play it out.

No testing of the water,

Allow myself to dive in.

.

From the fence the grass is green,

In the grass, you see the weeds.

But you have to cross the fence.

.

Instead I sit on it,

My home, away from home.

.

Indecision; my balance & instability,

Decide by not deciding,

Say enough to hint

Allow others to complete the thought.

.

21 days creates a habit.

This is my reset switch.
