To Be or Not to Be..
It’s rainy and cold out; not complaining though. People stride in and out of the buck for their favorite morning fix, and cups from yesterday for the .54 cent refill. This place is cool for folk that like to observe and sip on ground coffee beans, but what about the new comers who look up at the menu lost and beguiled at the array of combo’s the new age café has to offer. They twiddle their fingers nervously anticipating their turn in angst.
The words, tall grande or vista are replaced by the traditional small and large further revealing the naivety. The cashier corrects by using the café’s jargon or after failure, picks up the different cups for a visual look.
Funny, everything is a first for people at some point and time. It’s always interesting to observe; euphoric even. Taking back to a time when it was my first time. Most things cannot be recalled, depending on the relevance. The brain is funny that way. The hippocampus is selective at its memory selection. It chooses its sultries and buries the bitter and vice versa.
“To be or not to be: that is the question.” Shakespeare spoke. An eclectic warped soul but he did not lack insight in the imperative.
First timers make the world fresh and spectacular. From observation, I am inspired to reach back and snatch up the greenery. It is to be to flavorful and childlike.
Hamlet 3/1
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

The Unconscious Folk
Sleepwalking into the daylight; the unconscious do on a daily basis. Stumble into the lives of the woke folk leaving us to wonder why the unconscious even bother to get there trifling asses out of the bed. Slap worthy; every single one. The ignore button is full effect for the woke, but one must admit it is a bit of a step of faith not to act out on some verbal word play. Sitting at the local buck, I experinced a dyad. The femme was an annoying thorn in my left ass cheek. That's all I gotta say on the subject. And she didn't even read
the times like she pretended to be doing; rather under her beau while he attempted to study. Get a life!

Prayer
Life demands that I pray because there is so much that I cannot control. Life can be overwhelming; the right or proper frame of mind is shook by doubt and fear, and that is not a good place to be. If forgotten a tail spin begins and that dark perplexing place fit for no one comes into play. Control is the wish for all man, but he will always be limited because he is limited.
The unnecessary struggle in life is being able to let go and recognize this fact. Millionaire today; popper tomorrow.
Prayer...

Moments
There are times when the feeling of blueberry sour engulf a soul. It is during those times brown sugar sweetness is required.
Waiting.

The Box
On my afternoon stroll, I observe the clouds play footsie with the sun. I can appreciate the passing, but long for the rays of the sun to kiss; to thaw. Spring grows in magnificent hues creating a feel of rebirth. Birds fly tree to tree as if a chase has begun. Then there are the passer-byers in deep conversation about everything and nothing.
My hands knuckle deep in my pockets, Converse hovering over the rugged cement below and shades deflecting sporadic beams. I think and ponder what life holds, desiring a glance into the wonderful intricacy of invisible webs weaved.
The Box.
