mission critical 3/14/2008

The thoughts sojourned in my mind
with varied length and frequency
always changing when you thought
you could predict them

no pattern, no logic,
emotions play such a role
in our lives, our decisions

do we control them?
we should be able to
why do they control us
why do they affect us
why do we let them in
to rummage around,
make rude comments about our curtain selection
or the mess on the stair railing
overstay their welcome
and leave without making the bed
or maybe not leaving at all

or do they control us?

control.

life is about control.

life is about not wanting to control
what we think we can



sojourn \SOH-juhrn; so-JURN\, intransitive verb:
