the irony of a sponge
she's "retreating"
drawing more and more inward
is she trying to escape the musings?
or is she just there?
she can answer neither
a disease took her friend away
something that felt divinely cruel
with much considered
("crisis of faith", such is existence)
retreating, going inward
currently, she watched an old show
a long running one from childhood
still retreating
years ago, she'd be laughing
currently, she doesn't laugh anymore
paraodixically she watched
while she felt the knife twist
her friend's disease affected her before
and she remembers
she hated reminders
no, they made her retreat
this show came with two reminders
and still she watched
noting, idly, that her friend
never liked television.
