Patience tested.

Tolerance surpassed.

Annoyance levels elevating.

Memory problems?

No, I have trouble explaining the same thing

over

and over

and over

again.

Get up.

Make a coffee.

Wander around kitchen.

Do a few chores.

Hope inspiration comes.

Finally return to the screen.

Write something?

Hope it is good enough.

It doesn’t matter what time you went to bed,

Partying all night long.

It doesn’t matter what you feel like.

Hangover or not.

All that matters is that you wake up on time

so that the cats can be fed.

We all want a healthy planet.

Future generations depend on us.

Yet health choices force us to sterilize everything

and place food, medicine and almost everything

into plastic wrapped single use containers.

So how do we help the environment

if we can not avoid

the tremendous usage of this plastic?

We have learned caution in our wearing of masks

yet we still have disposable ones.

What threat is greater?

Our loss of healthy societies that can function?

Or the loss of our planet?

Are you willing to take the risk?

Is it in your best interest?

Do you think you can handle the consequences?

If only you knew the expiration date!

I’m a bad person.

I have an assiction.

It causes me to withdraw from those around me.

It makes me irritable should I not get it.

I’m a bad person.

One who has poor impulse control.

Yet my addiction is always accessible

and according to those around me

I should be the one in control.

I’m a bad person.

I don’t want a hippopotamus for Christmas.

I don’t want a hungry, hungry hippo.

I don’t want to watch the birds ride the hippos back in the river.

But mostly I don’t want them to fart when I’m at the zoo after they’ve just eaten.

You wake up late.

The other residents complain.

They get fed and watered.

You switch on the electronic devices.

Immersed in the scrolling pictures

Time is lost.

You finally check the time when one of the felines

curls up on your chest

and reminds you it is time to go to bed.
