Recently Lost

Something I thought about recently:


You know how you can be on a boat and


Get so far out in the ocean


That you can’t see the shore anymore?





I can’t remember if I’ve ever done that


In the woods.


Been so deep


I couldn’t see a building or anything.





Probably have been


Once or twice.


But I can’t remember when that was


Or if that was.





Does that mean I’m afraid?


That I don’t get lost very frequently?


Playing it too safe


Isn’t actually good for you.





But something else I was thinking about recently:


We often make up stuff


To make us sound like we are worse


Than we really are.





I mean, we’re pretty bad already.


Don’t make it worse


Than it already is.


I’m pretty sure I remember doing that.
