What have I been up to lately?
How to explain the curiously busy task
Of self reflection, regulation, maintenance
The privilege of a daydream?
Or the purely masterbatory amount of time
Spent in contemplation?
How to justify that arguing with oneself
Could be a hobby, anxiety a sport?
How to convey the exhaustion
of such an incorporeal productivity?
It all sounds so vague and conceited.
Is it philosophy or self flagellation?
"Not much, and you?"
