153 New Critical Objects

with wrath and love...
why do we do the things we do?
why do you run, jonah...
was it really worth it?

a/c unit humming, cell phone buzzing...
how far have we come?
why are we still afraid?
do we not learn from our own history?
are we forgetful...
memories jumbled...
out of whack...
do we feel immune?
did you get the medicine...
pills... drugs...
antidote... liquor...
paperwork is piling up,
kids are screaming,
cell phone still buzzing,
dinner date, happy hour,
tee time and pta...
we've all got someone to satisfy.

why do we fear death?
i suppose we all feel ill-prepared.
not ready to meet the end...
but since when is it our call?

tick-tock, tick-tock
bugs flying around...
whose cell phone keeps buzzing?
imprefections and do-overs...
scratch outs, back spaces and white out.
and we're the fortunate ones!

to be the bird...
or the life of a dog...
instead human, but awakened
from our collective slumber.

reality but a single line...
no one to win over...
to suck-up to.
no bills, no late fees...
no overdraft protection...
no cell phones ringing...
just the end.

just the wrath, just the love
all i am , all we are
love...
