The Dotted Line


Human behavior, in a purveyance
Of self generated,
self perpetuated,
Patterns.

Such a curious spectacle.

Social scripts and transcripts.
Clinging glasses & loud voices.
You want existence, this is it.
Who will you be? Such choices.

Why do we do what we do?

I do it because I love it.
What is love?

I do it because it seems like
the thing to do.

I do it because I am driven.

Seeming meaning meeting
this mind -
designer in it’s design.

Schemas of socialization
most of the
time.

Why can I not just
capitulate
&
sign
my name
on
the
dotted

Line?
