Reflections On a Spring Day

Pleasantly radiant, tranquil weather blue skies & gently benevolent wind a shimmering gift from Mother Nature (a smoldering summer lurking in the distance) Compulsively tracking an unquantifiable self: steps, exercise minutes, calories, symptoms, etc. stoical statistics dutifully logged into tired devices (a futile endeavor to control life) Cacophonous news oozing from the Malverse menacing memes ricochet around the planet updates of a horrid war threatening to devour the world (a looming nuclear apocalypse) Occupying space in old unedifying edifices gathering dark energy running out the accelerating clock as civilization nears its breaking point desperately seeking diversion while doling out doggerel (a quest to imbue a desolate existence with meaning) How long before it all falls apart?
