It is possible to alienate those you care about,
friends, family, even yourself.
How is it possible to be in the same house
and yet so far from the people you love?
“Very possible,” said the lonely.
The Cat Watches
The cat lays
to watch the humans argue.
When hungry
the cat will interrupt,
making one human fetch the food.
The argument will resume
but the cat won’t mind.
Those Invaders
Dare complain of the crowd?
You let them in.
They don’t wipe their feet.
They leave dirt and grime.
You let them make a mess of the place.
You let them use you.
Say something.
Speak.
Kick them out!
Signs of Self-Improvement
Self-improvement: an internal thing that reflects out.
Other people will see the difference.
You will feel it but your eyes will tell half the story.
The mirror shows through your smile how you feel about yourself.
For once the smile won’t fade,
only unless you wish it so.
Haunted Notebooks
I have notebooks bedside.
They haunts me at times,
telling me “write it down.”
“Write down everything stuck in your head.”
I cower
beneath the covers
before I succumb.
Work Overtakes
Let me inject a meal quickly,
so that I may return to my work.
Let me simulate sleep swiftly,
so that I may return to my work.
Let me virtually visit family ferociously,
so that that I may return to my work.
Let my work live on forever,
so that I may rest in peaceful sanity.
Revealing Reputation
Your lies reveal your nature.
You don’t hurt anyone but you.
Your reputation precedes you.
Ironically,
it reveals an awful truth.
