busy

from the vantage point of

being part of the very lonely club

of those having oodles of time

it looks like a very busy-busy world

full of watchgazing inhabitants

no-one has any time to even finish a conversation

there is always something important to be done

at first you think that only celebrities have a packed schedule

but than you look at the common people & knock knock

they are all hyperbusy as well

even idle potsmokers are busy smoking pot

with 'do not disturb' signs on their doors

what is surprising is the amount of confidence

people have in their 'doing'

they seem to gno for sure that whatever they

are doing is really important

the multiverse will surely come to a grinding halt

if they through some cruel twist of fate

happen to stop doing their ceaseless 'doing'

everyone is too busy to have any

breathing space to reflect upon

what exactly they are doing


hardly come across anyone who has

any time to spare to interact

one needs appointments for that

kind of stuff to be crammed in

somewhere within their packed itinerary

interaction for evolution

is not even considered

all interaction has to fit within

concrete societal constructs

& evolution is not one of the items on the agenda

its all about business = busy-ness


even those with nothing to do

are busy listening to all the crazy voices

in their head

one way or the other everyone is busy

working for some unknown goal

unknown to me that is

not to them

their short term/long term goals

make complete sense to them

maybe one day they will make sense to me too

till than i will leave them scrubbing their cars/goods

& taking care of their business

while yours truly keeps playing, chatting & smiling from the bed ...
