I hate the way you do that
I mean,
you’re a genre I struggle with,
you’re a giant magnet for mediocrity
and so obnoxiously,
tenaciously,
perniciously,
Herculiciously,
demanding.
But gritting my teeth,
I try to endure the absurdities
with maturity and good humour,
especially when
you say adorable things like,
this asthma medicine may cause asthma and death.
Then,
last night,
you completely wooed me…
while I was nobly quelling an uncharacteristic urge to punch my stress doll in the face, heart, conscience
(wait, is that even a thing? note to self, if it is, I need one. Poetic license only goes so far…)
some of the most beautiful words I had heard in hours
honeyed their way from the speakers into my parched ears.
There’s going to be a new Lego movie.
Out in February.
I hate the way you do that…
Best. Poem. Title. Ever. Delightful stream of consciousness piece that resonates for all of us who struggle with insomnia and have “look a squirrel!” Moments

Max, I’m so honoured you think that, thank you. Haha and yes, I agree with your much more eloquent description than I would give… 🙂

I’m puzzled and I really like that. I say that even though I’m infatuated with my capsule coffee machine.

Hi Steve, I’m puzzled by your puzzlement. I hope you don’t mean you can’t understand why I love the lego movie?

Nevah, Vanessa. It’s more a confusion between the animate and inanimate that I have in real life as well. I suppose it happens to everyone, you know you’ll be in the lounge room and someone’s talking, you press mute on the remote and you can hear them anyway.
