Every time I think I understand,
something changes,
and I have to figure it out all over again.
Some would say,
thinking I was talking to them
when I was actually talking to myself,
"that's life."
I reply,
(after they have left the room
because I am an introvert
with a strong gag reflex),
"that's too simple an answer.
It tastes of cliché and smells like laziness."
Maybe life would be easier
if I wasn't so curious.
Maybe life would be easier
if I didn't take poetic liberties with commas.
