Untethered

I am untethered,

Every decision feels profound,

Their unrealised results

Entirely consuming

Irrespective of their cosmic

introspection.

What’s for dinner?

The delivery app is open,

Options in cart,

Coupon applied.

That pause is where I feel it,

The zenith of all that might be

As my finger hovers above pay now

The doubt creeps in.

It is why I cannot commit

And yet I commit to readily,

To people, to work, to creating;

Projects that earn more

In the space of contemplation

Then they do in end results

Why can’t I commit to Me?

The concept, even from an

Unbiased standpoint of

common decency

Why do I not exact that

Base courtesy?

To feed, to feel, to fancy,

To forget.

And yet

I am untethered.
