Plea

Alive

But not living

Performing routines

Day in day out

Automata

.

Rat race runner

Drudge and grind

Disposable replaceable

What

Is

The

Point

?

Inc., as always I value the honesty in your poems. It is so de rigour to mask the emptiness/meaninglessness with hedonism and other forms of denial. With you, the raw truth. Thank you. Genuine joy (what an unlikely word for contemporary lips) in relationship imbues even the most mundane and tedious task with hope. You already know what I might suggest as the ultimate relationship … and in it a rejection of the poverty of spirit you tell.

Selling my soul isn't an option Ish.
Though as always I appreciate your concern :)

It's odd, I was mentally on a high when writing this.
Happy with my lot in life.
