Doldrums of Indecision

To or Not to...

To pee or not to pee

That is not the question

That is not even A question

It is a statement

A statement of a state

A state implying THE state,

THE state I find myself in.

I lie in bed contemplating on

A few questions on life and beyond

And suddenly it strikes my mind

It has been two hours lying on my hind

But why not the need, not the urge?

What has inactivity external to do internally?

Why? To pee or not to pee.

Time or tide waits for nobody

It slips from your hands like by sand

But I lie in an eddy of time

I am stuck in time’s sandstone.

Where do I get the time or better why

To even make the statement as before

Why? Where? To pee or not to pee.

The stillness of my actions in vain

The stillness of a sore knee in extreme pain

The stillness of time moving again…

Suddenly I am not so bored anymore

My immediate life has an immediate goal now

I know now where I went wrong;

To pee. It has no option.

Pressure from society, from education

From knowledge, from intelligence

From relatives, from contemporaries

From peers, from seers

Pressure abounds from all-where

But pressure from the bladder

A man’s gotta pee.

To Pee…
