problematic!

A mad goofy write on paranoia.

Problematic!

When the answer became a problem

from the problem started, the question,

I knew then, this was going to be problematic.

On solving the problem

the solution became the problem.

Why not hey! An answer leads to a solution

that's crystal clear.

No! It had to be blurry.

Now entangled in the problem

my thoughts can't breathe.

Wrapped in the problem,mummified.

Help! muffled.

When the thoughts of the day

just won't go away.

Soon as the problem sorts itself out, the better.

What a problem!

Where's the answer when you need one.

I just wanted an answer, not a problem.

Capisce! Understand!

Now I'm worried.

It always happens in threes.

Yes! The problem.

Oh right! The answer is IN the question!
Great poem and parody of the seriousness with which we contemplate the meaning of life. Round and round and round...we fear the lion chasing our horse until we realize we are on a merry-go-round

but you also touch a very serious problem :} fear and anxiety are our enemies .. when ensconced in them there are no solutions ..just more anxiety ..tricky to learn to stop trying until calmer waters embrace us .. love this life reflecting poem!

Those darned pesky thoughts just never know when to put in a full stop, end a paragraph, or even finish a chapter. They are just one long conveyor belt of madness waiting to happen. Thankfully, the conveyor belt for all the problems it causes, runs smoothly enough. When the conveyor belt breaks, that's when the problems really start to pile up with nowhere to go.
Nicely captured Sir. Those never ending thoughts explained perfectly.
