tell me why

Heart Choking Sympathy

Too much television is a bad thing.
Too much money is a bad thing.

Too much love is another thing.

--

Too little music hurts.
Too little contact hurts.
Too little liquid hurts.

--

My heart is big.
The wind is strong.

The heat is the killing kind.

--

Television. Movies. Comics. Magazines.

--

Everyone is here and I am alone.

--

NBA season begins soon.

Life ends in less than 100 years.

No more chances.

--

No reruns.

No chance to do it again.

And if you did?

If you did have a chance?

How much would change?

--

Would you kiss her?
Would you spin and cry and spit?

Would you scrape your knuckles, scar your forehead, leap forward into hope?

--

Do any songs bear truth?
Do any movies change lives?

Does art change anything?

--

Can I live happy?
Will I die happy?

Why must we grow old?
Why must we die?

Why must we be afraid?

Why is there a need for courage?

Which is more important: Love or success?

Security or truth?

Honesty or Loyalty?

Does anything not fade?

--

Is it better to have a routine - a schedule, or to spend every day in exhaustingly varying fashions?
