Neurospicy
i have never not
thought this much
about everything
all the time
all at once
i have never known contentedness
as i imagine it
is everyone’s perception the same
am i presumptuous
if not worry
consideration
if not weighing
contemplation
if
am i taking it too far
have i stretched the limit
of their assiduity
let me rephrase:
i needn’t.
i meant the first phrase
merely feared
miscommunication
as if it were mine to contain
i f’ing ooze responsibility
for anything meaningless
take my word
my word?
My word,
aren’t we getting big
for the britches
they hemmed us into?
