I wonder if I still feel others' feelings.
Caught up in the modern world,
Surrounded by media overload,
Perhaps I've forgotten how to feel;
Because I don't want to digest
All of the horrors - and delights -
Pushed upon me,
Like a thirty ton weight.
Yes, I've become a comfortably numb pancake -
It seems to be the safest way to cope.
Then again, I could always unplug,
And enjoy the return of cool weather to Austin;
And maybe even be at one
With the task of cleaning the neglected bathroom.
I'd write more,
But my busy schedule pulls me away...
