Just Going Through a Phase

I pay no attention to sports I turn off the weather report Pretty girls don’t attract me No more do mosquitoes attack me I read the obits and emit a long sigh Thinking, there but for the grace of God goeth I… A backed-up sewer full of manure Made me gag; I was so immature Today it bothers me not in the least ~ Life on this earth is just leased

Hello Gershon, Such a candid reflection on life and its phases! I love how you capture that sense of detachment and existential contemplation with a mix of humor and depth. The contrast between the mundane and profound is so striking, especially with lines about the obituaries and the backed-up sewer. Life is fleeting and sometimes absurd. Brilliantly expressed! It made me smile. Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Daniel, were you ever a literary critic? You certainly have the vocabulary and style for it. Amazing review here. Thanks.
