A Mood
I raise a glass to the uncomplicated,
to the well-worn path from A to Z,
free from hard lessons and unsettled
law, and to the status quo when the
status quo is pleasant, to the obvious
choice when the status quo is not.
To the autonomic reflexes that pull
our strings and to sympathetic ears.
To confirming our biases, to preaching
to a crowd, to logical fallacies and
the joys of emotional responses.
To the food pyramid we like- Salt,
Sugar, Fat, Carbs, and Caffeine.
To air conditioning and easy A's
and minimum expectations
and listicles.
To our power to go nose blind
to our own stink, to look away from
the heaving and swelling of the world.
And to all those who advise us to
forgive ourselves before we forgive others.
