Ad Nauseam
Wrote this a little while ago but didn’t like it. Then I added a bit. Then I flipped it round so the second section came first and it seemd to resolve the issue I had with it.
I think it is about sensation, fulfillment and escape of and from life.
Disassociated and dissatisfied, depressed
Anticlimactic apprehension overhangs
Overthinking sets and resets the triggers of fear
To feel the lightness of joy
Imbibed through contact with the pure spirit
Residing in each one of our international family members
Connecting and sharing as we interact
Aspiring to bond my present moment to that goal
Holding back from ideas that fuse material consumption and wasteful financial expense
Yet yearning to reach outside the box and touch someone
My dull mind limits my imaginative trains of thought
Shuttered beyond daylight
Beyond recourse
Escape
From the mundanuity of each day
Escape being the operative word
As that is what we aspire to do best as a species
Distractions and stories
Amusements that keep reality at bay
Sanitised and pre-calculated for your feed
It rains in tinselly nuggets of information and fantasy
Stories to escape into and run with
And how do those stories run
Episodes and series of a more interesting life
Plus it’s cheaper to watch and escape
Though it is still easy to accidently spend more than one means on diversion and entertainment
Sucked back in
Better to feel some other sensation than continue to repeat
Ad nauseam
That hunger for sensation
And to simply avoid this reality
