TIME LINES
You've got a terrible cough, she told me.
What about your cerebral sneeze I thought.
If only things were different, if only...
If only I had stayed back there, back then.
The grass is always greener, she mumbled.
Tuning in to my procrastination.
But what does she know of my other life?
Why should she care, she will never go there
Never spend time on a different line
She's not that sort of girl and she knows it.
So why does she have to sneeze me back here?
And pour that cough medicine down my throat!

Well written, Andy. The grass IS always greener.....somewhere!
ReplyDeleteCrossing lines and switching places can be fun for a few moments but are seldom real possibilities. Interesting ideas you suggest, here.

We're surrounded by parallel universes... multiverses...
ReplyDeleteI, too, have seen that grass... in my other world.
ReplyDeleteIf I were younger, this would have made me sad.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice job!
ReplyDeletewhat does anyone know of anyone's other life, eh?
ReplyDeleteSneeze on, Brother!
Sometimes we're just stuck with it.
ReplyDeleteIllness makes me grumpy too. This was a fun read.
ReplyDeleteYes, Andy, the grass is always greener from another point of view.
ReplyDeleteWell said, ACHOO!
