fragile mind
clink
eggs crack against the bowl sky blue
broken shell shards like glass
the thin line we walk so high
tightropes of minds stretched across infinity
or not
contrary contradictions
can't make up my mind
fell down a rabbit hole and landed here
now I wander, wonder in this place
clink
washing dishes hands hurt
too hot too soapy too wet
scrub away the grime
clean clean clean
only to dirty again
is this what madness looks like?
clink
wine glasses big party
celabration of work
to only work work work more
a whole life spent walking up an escalator
race cars on a single loop
no way out no way but forward
or is it backward?
clink clink clink and gone
I don't want to be gone
but do I want to stay?
so easy just to fly above
run far far away
this madness that infects us all
our poor fragile minds
take the reality and scramble it
mixed so well
the human obligation to be something other
something else
and in the end
we're all just making omlettes.

I leave you my reaction in poetry form.
Your words describe a frustration in life,
A frustration ever-presant at the back of the mind.
Many days have I paced in frustration,
Begging my mind for a change.
When success notes redundancy as a requirement,
Is it really worth it?
Thank you, dear human
For that view so full of truth.
Also the ironic laugh brought by the end.
