All At Once | Show Time

***This post doubles as a poem.

I don’t know how it happens.

How the world decides to stop and knock on my door all the same time. A dozen assignments, friends, then “friends”, family, my books, songs, all calling my name.

Too many stories to live at once.

If time could slow, only for a minute?

They do say time is relative though. And I suppose that relativity’s up to me. To find a quiet moment to pause and catch up with life’s plans. They say life is what happens when you’re planning.

Sometime’s life is what’s planning.

So I have to do some planning of my own. Schedules, organize, checklists, calenders, alarms. Overwhelmed is overestimating. Relaxed is underestimating.

I suppose I’m just living.

Isn’t that life?

And even if it’s happening at the same time, can’t stop, open the curtains, because it’s show time.
