watching her deep water,
pilled sleeping,
her chest congest,
her cough, orange,
clockwork regular,

watching tv,
an old Law & Order fav,
major crimes gets an
innocent man freed from jail

watching me
in the tv screen reflection,
write bad poetry,
and laughing at his own hair,
rebelling in sticking up shapes
that would make Einstein jealous

no over arching philosophy,

but if Sheldon were to
find the unifying string theory
that could tie and string these moments

cause "whatever"
just don't quite cut it
as a way,
a purpose to exist,
but moments like this
