NORMAL?

Who me? Normal? What’s normal?

Breathing, eating, bathroom, sleep

sometimes, some work to do, emptying

the dishwasher - but wondering why

the others don’t do it. After these,

what’s normal? Desire, some fears,

some hopes, some complaints - but

they differ? Abnormal? I’m abnormal

when I have no friends, acquaintances,

no one to ventilate to, no delights, no

favorite food and daily moments, no

wonderings about God. Yep, I think it’s

abnormal to have no wonderings about
God - why what is what and why: why is
why? Me normal? Ask my friends?
