Tablets On Top of a Tablet
tablets on top of a tablet
thinking about existence and the what and the why
shaking a bottle of water fighting with the stubbornness of my reluctance
knowing i do not have the heart
trying to force the hardcore in
continuously stepping aside for my teddy bear exterior and interior
remembering i cannot fight God's creation
tablet becomes a sliding board over a trash can
choosing life
starting over
talking to myself
shutting my eyes tightly with face drowned in my hands
wondering how it all got to this....how it all got here....to this point....this destination
blowing off the powdery remains from the tablets on top of a tablet
remembering snowfalls and hot chocolate with marshmallows
remembering saturday morning cartoons in late september
remembering what people like about me past and present
thinking about the less fortunate or the even lesser fortunate
realizing that i do not have it so bad
opening my eyes to the steadiness, the stability, and the consistency in my life
grabbing me a dr. pepper from the fridge
putting the leftover bacon cheeseburger pizza in the microwave
cutting on the tv and turning it to 'snapped'
stifling an expletive and slapping myself in the face wondering what the hell i was thinking....
finally realizing Life Is God....Life Is Good....
