When reality hits

When reality hits

When the force

of the world hits you hard

in the face, slapped.

The dentist forgets to anesthetize

before drilling, pain.

The bills in rolls, worry.

The fridge is bare, hunger.

A woman giving birth to a watermelon, ouch!

Only then you

realise.......

there are no oms

to help you

coming down

your transcendental plane

at a G force, you crash

back to reality...

" the Now!"

No blanket of psychokinesis

for comfort,

no extrasensory perceptions reaches

out in arms........ to save you.

Travelling through...

the darkest recesses of our minds

far deeper than the universe

one epiphany comes out

and stands aloud....

in a proverbial word

far more reaching....

" F**k!"

This is not my day!

This is reality.

remind me not to get too close to become vacuum sucked into that there reality - oh no - in my reality I have way more fun - for example that f**k word is not used as an expletive ;) XX nudge nudge wink wink X

how true ..no matter how we handle things we all reach that point of doubting .. as Peter walked on water three or four steps and sank like a tank ;)
the desire to refuse to acknowledge our circumstances is an anxiety ridden trap ..but the acceptance in your closing lines surmounts those circumstances and is a path to the peace and comfort we all need and desire in seemingly hopeless situations .. your poem gave me a chuckle at the end .. sometimes those one word/four letter expressions are a fine release ;)

I was asked the question "What is Reality?" so I had some fun with reality and yes those 4 letter words can add humour and spice lol:)

[Einstein Noodle]

:) .............. that KWP is getting a little spicy herself isn't she ;)

[andrew mitchell]

Yes somewhat adds flavour to a review! A bit of spice and a hint of nice!

Oh yea I see it, you'r philosophically saying when you dream that s**t is hit the fan, don't bother waking up because reality will be the brown stuff :~)
And thank you very kindly, I am still trying to get the image out of my head about the watermelon!

[andrew mitchell]

Many women have said giving Birth is like pooping out a big watermelon. I know I know too much information!!! lol

[AaronFreitas]

I have had many of those days my friend. Where all we can do is sit back with the realization that s**t has hit the fan! haha Awesome thoughts that I can totally relate to :)

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks Aaron lol
