Human Autopilot
It's interesting how a person can move in a steady rhythm without a thought to the matter
How autopilot is as real of a thing to the human person as it is to a plane
How this constant unconscious movement often pulls us thin to the point where we might shatter
And how we don't even realize it's happening as we find ourselves driving along in the wrong lane
It's interesting...
It's interesting how we can watch our feet moving step by step but not register at all that we're walking
How we can clearly see in retrospect all the things we were blind to as we mechanically trudged by
How the mindless persistency of consistency causes us to look at nothing gaulking
And how we can pass by everything and still miss it all without even a try
It's interesting...
