Vicious cycle…
every morning when I wake up
and I look into the mirror
a smile with two probing eyes stare at me
I stare back and reciprocate
sometimes I wonder
do I need to smile back?
What if I just ignore
brush teeth sprinkle water in eyes
move ahead with my life
not a single glance on sidelines
in order to simplify
what I have on my platter
evade all that surrounds it
blank papers to be filled
dotted lines to be signed
empty pots to be filled
forgotten lores to be told
missed kisses to be returned and received
casual glances thrown and taken
fights to finish left unresolved
oh oh so much to do
so much of life put on hold
so much of it on back burner
so much simmering on the front
so much waiting to be done
every morning dawns with promises
every evening closes eyes with more of it left undone!
