people go to things day after day
stringing their lives together in what they deem usually are productive meaningful ways
he called them routinespeople flinched when he did
asif it were a bad thing
some believe theyre above it
routine
is their hearts beatingtheir
unconscious breaths their steps falling forward
one after the other
otherwise
theyd stand still
wouldnt progress
Evolution wouldnt have evolved
his life thus far was composed of
heady blocks of routine
through adolescence teens
young adulthood middle ages entering bizarre enddays some might impose
that last year after year because threats are less frequent theyd be
apparent if he tried provoking them
nobody wants to beat a senseless older man senseless
trouble is older people are filled to overflowing with senses
senses going unfulfilleddemons
running through their lives haunting
their dreams
senses of wrong turns that may have
led to regret if regret was a colour they wanted to paint with
failing senses
eyes ears taste
extreme senses lovedbeloved ones deaths
aching memories like stepping in mud struggling to extract
their foot and freedwatch their footprint fill slowly with water patiently they have nowhere to be and filled reflect their face everyones
faces
his were heady blocks of routine
because being keen while living outside and inside his head they stacked neatly
like childs toys storage bins
his mother before she died told
him when he called to ask if what he remembered actually happened or had he dreamed
or madeup it
Please stop asking me, Joe,
it’s hard for me to remember now, but what I do remember is that whenever you
asked you had remembered it correctly, they were memories; and, I am
grateful, they jumpstarted mine.
routine isnt a bad thing
