Benediction or Banishment

Overwhelming urges

are titrated messages vacuum-sealed in hygienic conditions

more than likely

whilst attentions were focused on some priority

that superseded bodily functions

Or

they are stifled desires with no fixed abode

in expansion according to Avogadro’s Law

cubic meter claimants

of every available space near pre-explosion levels

thus no small wonder you feel pressure

Or

they might be dream-waves we felt as children

that were never silly nonsense

but actually distilled cosmic brilliance

elliptical philosophies

in square curriculums

that patted us on the head

to leave comments like,

“Oh, how nice/lovely/sweet”

eliciting reactions that got us stern looks

detention

the principal’s office

Or

they could be a final plea for help

when remaining avenues of communication failed

an unwelcome slap in the face

to sting you away from sameness stupor

and silent slips into senility

with no lighted exits

Please don’t go that way

Freeze and you’ll never be okay

But sure

maybe you’ll be an anomaly

the exception to the rule

the epitome of blatant disregard

for any impulses inside

fulfilled by predictable interests

with pre-set outcomes

parameters with no margin for error

people you’ve only always known

safe from fiery passions

and messy overwhelming urges

to CPR crash cart against your routines

fine with an ordinary life

and pleased as punch about it

You could be alright

It’s been known to happen

To be ordinary

doesn’t take much in the way of effort

The reason why countless people do it

and are good at it

So pleased you dropped by for a read! Did you choose? Happy about it? That's all that matters.
