Transactional

Transactional she said

Transactional you are

Or seem to me to be

Always making deals in order to be getting some thing

In return

Your nature she said

Transactional

Why not see other things she said

Don't worry so much about

Endings

Happy or otherwise

See beauty in nature and pause and take it in inside

See the lovely things birthed by decay also

Pause and search through the dust and refuse

The reactions of daily strife

There are lessons there to sift and find

Superficial she said

You can be this too you are this

She said

The surface is not sublime

It is the mind which lasts the long haul can't you see this pal

It is deeper things that last through time

A quagmire too this life we live

Always wanting always yearning you are

Sensating what is all you do

Pulsating your heart quickens

You won't last either

Your heartbeat gonna crash crash crash

You'll soon begin to wither

Without better nourishment son

Than surface dreams and desires

Without better accoutrements

You won't last far or long

You growl and think you are wise and giving

But something always in return you're getting

Change your ways oh brother

She said

Stop being so damn

Transactional
