On
Second Thought
Sometimes
we distract our minds. Humans are
uniquely
adept at that. It is with this notion we
allay
or ignore the unsavory or inevitable. No
other
creature on the planet is able to distract
from
the reality at hand. By nature, instinct,
science
tells us, the dog and the cat go about
their
day in perfectly predictable ways—eat,
sleep,
play, face the intruder or prey with a
vengeance
or wisely turn and run away. There
is
no thought of tomorrow or the future and
what
it may bring; today is their focus, the one
and
only thing. As for me, my place surely could
use
a good cleaning, and some rearranging would
be
nice. I’ve got all these grandiose ideas saved
for
another day. I’ll make a note to self, or better yet,
I’ll
have Siri remind me later in the week. Today,
cloudy
and gray, binging on episodes of Twilight Zone
and
cat-napping in between the scenes seems a more
appealing
way. Siri, turn to the Sci-fi channel, please.
What
the hell, it’s New Year’s Day, and certainly
I
deserve a break.
