Again 12 Times

End of the month and what’s been accomplished?

Laundry?

Grocery shopping?

Work?

Bills?

Lather, rinse, repeat 12 times

 

Beginning of the month and what does the "To do" list consist of?

Laundry?

Grocery shopping?

Work?

Bills?

Lather, rinse, repeat 12 times

 

Repetitive for redundancy sake

Repetitive for redundancy sake

My blurred view from my hamster wheel life

Shows my payoff for mundane focusing

 

Faster and faster

Getting to the vast void

A thoughtful vacuum

Where my sameness grows plentiful

Rather worrying that this comes immediately after a previous read of one of your poems. In no way is this mundane though, you may have sent them like this to prove a point?
I think that we each progress every day once we acheive the repetitive parts - just sometimes they are all consuming and use up too much time and we do feel they overtake our life.
Interesting views. Thanks.

This was great! You're great at running with it, aren't you?! : )

I like this one, I'd give you a longer review but I gotta go make dinner, take clothes out the dryer, and wash my hair. ; )

Routines suck! I know this because I get so drawn in by mine, I seem to be on autopilot all the time. Sometimes I think life is passing me by.
