Foe

I’m not an observant person. I see what I see, and the rest doesn’t matter. What’s the point? Why bother taking notice of everything going on around you, filling up your mind with irrelevant details and excess information? What’s going to happen will happen regardless. Awareness is beside the point.

We have found a way together, our way. We have developed and refined a relationship. Predictable, stable, certain, normal, routine, lifelike. One day ends, another starts. Over and over. It’s a comforting rhythm.

You can hold beliefs and not always believe in them.

I know, her normal self. That’s what time does. It ushers a return to equilibrium. Unease becomes ease. A shock, no matter how potent, always wears off with time.

We can’t help ourselves, I think, can’t stop expanding, spreading, conquering.
