[sometimes,]

Some times, it seems like we are wind-up toys, robotic even.

sometimes-

it seems like people

are wind-up toys. simply going

through motions of existence.

wake up, brush teeth, eat.

day to day activities. dinner,

relaxing, sleep. on and on again-

shampoo, rinse, repeat. condition

rinse. 

nothing is ever done to switch

things up. simply a matter of repetitious

actions. there is meaning in ordinary

practices, though sometimes

it's nice to change direction.

in a world where life is so

unpredictable, routines hold

no meaning. step by step methods

rendered useless. 

there is no protocol for those times. 

we operate as if everything should run, 

according to reference book standards. 

this perception is from an angle

of fantasy. 

it's quite a paradox really. gripping

to routine...clutching it, as though 

life ever goes according to plan. 

clenching, a to-do-list, 

like we have control 

when we actually don't.

is it possible to be reprogrammed, 

to embrace the unexpected? 

will we always be robotic?
