vitalwholeness

This is the place we go
to settle for the easy way
the course of least resistance
where we cannot fail,
little is expected,
and when we repeat the same routine
one more time
because it is so safe
the old familiar suffocation begins to return
and the smell of dry rot
is so strong
that we can hardly stand the stench
of what has already begun to decay
in the middle
of the lowest common denominator
