Just Gonna Put This Here....
I did it again.
What?
That thing.
That thing I do.
What!?
That thing where I...
Forget the thing I said I wouldn't do
Use the things
Bringing empty attention
To temporary eyes.
Glassing over the thing
The thing I'm supposed to do.
WHAT
Don't get mad
It's just a thing
Pass like the rest
I'll just do the thing
The thing that breaks it.
WTF
That thing...
I said I would care for
Nurture for
Build for
Stretch longer and push harder for
Okay
I want that thing
That thing you see
When it lives
So easy
Between them.
That thing that snaps your heart
That thing that moves closer to goodbyes
Fine.
What?
That thing.
That thing I do.
What!?
That thing where I...
Forget the thing I said I wouldn't do
Use the things
Bringing empty attention
To temporary eyes.
Glassing over the thing
The thing I'm supposed to do.
WHAT
Don't get mad
It's just a thing
Pass like the rest
I'll just do the thing
The thing that breaks it.
WTF
That thing...
I said I would care for
Nurture for
Build for
Stretch longer and push harder for
Okay
I want that thing
That thing you see
When it lives
So easy
Between them.
That thing that snaps your heart
That thing that moves closer to goodbyes
Fine.

i feel like i am playing pin the tail on the donkey...you have me spinning and arms reaching to hit a target that may or not be in front of me. i like that feeling...i like how the dialoguesque form evokes that kind of experience.

Loo, i can't necessarily tell you the thing that made me enjoy this piece. Reading it out loud really brings it to life. We all have that thing for which we are loved, hated or ignored. Sometimes that thing encapsulates who we truly are. I love the things you do with words. Brava!
