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?
