The Facts of Feelings
Why is it more comfortable
To have more blankets on but the window open
Than it is to sleep with just the duvet
And the window shut?
Because it is cosier, snugglier,
But what exactly makes it so?
Why is it pleasant to be dry, not so nice to be wet?
Well, wet is often cold, why’s it not fun to be cold?
What is fun?
Also, what used to go on in our minds
Before wet, cold and fun were words to us?
If you’re wet, you are not always cold.
Being soaked isn’t so bad
On scorching sands.
But is that only because you’ll quickly dry off
And because you know that?
Can anyone pinpoint
What is so unpleasant
About sand stuck to your skin?
Why is it so good to get it off in a warm, bubbly tub?
It is a relief, but why?
Relief can be defined by relaxation,
But what exactly is that?
Well, it’s the freedom from anxiety, from tension.
But then relief isn’t exactly relaxation.
After relief, it’s back to whatever came before
What needed to be relieved.
