20150425: I Need A Hobby (Late Night Musings)

i think  I might take up drugs; recreational of course.

I take so many already so what if I take a few more illicit ones?

Or perhaps I could become an alcoholic,

that sounds like fun.

Drinkers always seem to be having fun

while drug addicts just get sleepy. 

I am in need of a non-physical hobby.

Perhaps you know of one I might try?

I'm falling apart, and losing the ability to do thngs 

by myself, so I have been thinking....

Plenty of time for thinking  lately

I am too much of a coward to kill myself just yet

(but perhaps there will come a time when I will)

A pity; it would have been an easy way out.

But I am left with a burdensome body, with high maintenance costs

slowly disintegrating, ceasing to function

as described in the specifications in the owner's manual.

So how can I pass the time till disintegration is complete?

My mind is not breaking down, at least not as fast

Unfortunate.

Now is the time to wish for senility to start

To start to forget, especially day to day things.

It would be nice to forget my circumstances

to live in oblivion, not to remember anything

I don't particularly want to live in my  memories

Most of them are not ones I want to recall at all.
