Getting a phone call while on the toilet.
Hearing someone making love next door.
Children throwing a tantrum in the grocery store.
Being told your giggle is cute.
Farting loudly in public.
Crying because your favorite show got canceled.
Yet hearing a baby burp is the cutest thing ever!
Not one.
Not Two.
But three people forgot something important.
Important enough
that a return to retrieve said item ensued.
Now I am waiting patiently
for the phone I forgot
to be brought to me.
Sigh!
It’s a key aspect
In any relationship
Whether between boss
And employee
Or between parents
Or even friends.
If you cannot be held accountable
For your actions
And how they affect others
How can you be accountable
To yourself
And how your actions
Affect you?
Jokes about stand up comedy
And the jokes is on us.
Dreams are strange things
Especially when the muttering ends
And all that is left
Is the salad dressing.
Curiousity may have killed the cat
The desire to know the truth
What is it about the dangerous
That drives us to seek it out?
If ignorance is bliss
then why are we always seeking out knowledge?
Sometimes I think
We will never be happy until we step too far
and find we went over the cliff.
Physical ones are easier to see.
Even the ones under the skin.
Internal injuries still cause pain.
Mental injuries are just as devastating.
More so since people brush them off
as nothing more than the persons laziness.
The brain is an internal organ
which can be hurt.
So maybe we should equate mental health
with the brain injury which caused it?
We are physical creatures
and our brain is the most spectacular piece ever seen.
Water fights
Pressing the bench
Cooking classes
Remembering how to ride a bike
Figuring out how to fix flat tires
Doing your taxes
Calling an old friend
Being social after isolation
Be in awe of the fear and wonderment induced
Enjoy life
Psychological questions out the window
I believe in myself.
I believe in the world.
I find things hard to understand
Yet Life is defined by breathing
and physical health.
Who is to say
an android is not alive?
What happens when technology
exceeds all expectations
and the dystopian futures arrive?
Continue yelling at each other
until one admits defeat.
No one wins.
Both lose.
But the on who won
thinks otherwise.
Are you going to argue with them
next?
The pain thrums behind the eyes.
Headache pills taken
with the hopes of a reduction
in the aching part.
Things get bad.
Though the pain lessons
The screaming kids at the park
Continue to assault the ears.
And therefore the aching is sustained.
