Machines usually have a button where you can turn it off before it goes into overdrive. There must be one in the mind somewhere as well. Sometimes you find it but wonder, "What if I can't get it back again--the introspection gone amuck that needed regulated?" Have to stop thinking of ourselves as machines. The rainsoaked bamboo of yesterday could teach us a thing or two. Love your poems lately Vassilis.
A broken down body, Vassilis, like a broken down mind. All this self destructive cruel rumination that undermines rather than heals.

ReplyDeleteE,
ReplyDeleteI like to think that those who have the creative drive in them have a better chance of making it through whole, and I hope I'm right.
Annie,
Good to hear my poems of late are connecting with your mindset--don't turn that button off!
Thanks to you both for responding!
