Thanks for all the comments- the reason I don't reply is cos I have run out of things to say....
Like I have been wrung, and squeezed to a crinkled knot- and try as I might- I can't let loose even a single soulful drop...
He's hurt and upset, and sick of things being topsy turvy, things that should've could've been the right side up....
I laugh and tell him-
" Silly guy! It's all a matter of perspective.."
.... He winces (more the laugh than the platitude), shrugs and shuts up.....
And I go beserk-
" So what do you fucking want me to say? Life sucks? That the bloody world has conspired against you? That it is all going wrong- and what did you do to deserve this?....."
" I don't believe that, don't expect me to say it.... don't fucking expect me to feel sorry.. Cos I think that it's not something that needs to be fixed.. I think you have called these experiences forth, cos you needed them... It JUST IS....and everything IS for a reason...."
.... but somewhere, a nagging doubt has crept in- What if it isn't.....what if it is all going wrong- what if there IS a right side up..........
then one
could say that things were going wrong....
... and that wasn't even the point.......
All of us have our own reasons for shutting up...
Perhaps it is best that I say nothing, if saying something,
anything, lets loose a torrent of confusion...And try as I might I can't squeeze out one soulful drop....
