you know when you
stare too long at
a word and it
starts to lose its
meaning. when it
jumbles around
when it flips its
own self over till
your screen is a
damned word search?
you know when you're
searching for a sign
for a message
or a blessing
or a soulmate
or a reason
and you only
find an even
more confused copy
of yourself?
I have a theory
that that is what
we are doing
with all our lives.
looking too far
thinking too hard
working too long
stressing too much
and living too
well, little.
I have a theory
That everyone
Has a theory.
Everyone stares
A little too much
At the word 'life'.
Trying to hard
To make all things
Fine. Well, maybe
They would be if
You just took a
Bit more time.
