How many mountains so we have to climb
to finally feel worthy of a little bit of time to unwind?
How many victories require a tax?
How many little breaks ended up bringing us back?
How often does a good life moment have some heavy fine print?
How do the happiest times turn to shit?
How does a celebration end up a challenge?
How do emo songs at midnight once again become valid?
How does paradise come with a catch?
How are we to face this? How are we to act?
How many little tricks does life like to play, and what do we make of it all, anyway?

It’s a Catch 1920×1080
Right now, as I write this, my
Eyes get narrow, and focus in – with a
Tightness. A fight-or-flight response, my
Irises and pupils embattlled in a day-til-
Night war, they spar with bluelights
And UV and bright screens, galore..
–
Deadass, I’m stuck between
A nine-to-five and a lifestyle that
Makes it hard to look away from
A series of bright rectangles each day.My
Glasses are shielded, but my
Eyes still feel it …just another long-term health thing to deal with.-RSM
Seven Haikus About Life, And Stuff.
‘Beauty’ is the air
between your eyes and the things
and people you love.
–
Important moments
pass by so quickly, that we
replay them ’til death.
–
Intimate moments
with oneself are works of art:
Powerful. Priceless.
–
Life is a dancefloor,
ballroom dance moves are the norm.
I like pop-and-lock.
–
Staggering to think
how many realities
we’ve made, and destroyed.
–
It’s hard to maintain
a peaceful flow, like water,
but fires are no match.
–
Understanding you
is your most important skill.
You are worth your time. – RSM
