How human have you been today? I love the idea of doing something that comes naturally, like going outside and sitting in the grass, only to be told it’s unusual. Then those nay-sayers go home and have a restricted life on the couch as god intended.

But what’s the point of living like that? There’s a beautiful world at our fingertips, and we need only reach with our hearts. To be there, and feel the world spin around us. Why do we disconnect from the truth, and feed ourselves any substitute just to fit the grid? I can’t fathom these depths. Not alone. So I turn to online dating apps.

And who will I meet there, but fellow lost souls who cannot reach through the screen to see me, too feel me– the real me? I want to share what I have with the world, and feel seen. But I won’t even see or hear my own family. What’s wrong with the space we have cultivated apart, altogether? We have led each other astray.

Wrong Change

Wrong path
Any afternoon
Hold your hand, control me like I’ve nothing to prove

But did you get that on camera
Too fragile to move
If you listen to my memory, I’ll show you a groove

It’s too late
To escape
I’ve decided to wait
And concede to a fate
Where I’ll never relate

But I don’t motivate
I simulate a holiday trait

So take me out
To a home
Where they care
Where I’ve gone
And I make
My best friends know
I’m fresh and fine like naturals
