Hedren

You're walking
It's getting late
You're tired
You turn to go home, but
The sidewalk cracks
The Earth opens beneath you
It swallows you and
You're falling
And falling
You realize it's a dream
Eventually
Still
Falling
Expecting the impulse to wake up
Wake up
Or at least hit the ground

The Hedonic Treadmill
Also known as Hedonic Adaptation
Is the observed tendency of humans
To quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness
Despite major positive
Or negative events
Or changes

The only difference between Hell and Heaven
Is the time it takes to fall

A hair falls from the matter of your head
You call it loss
You fall into the Earth beneath you
Is it you?

You force meaning down the throat
Of a universe that can't meet your expectations
All you can know for certain
You're here now
You're falling
Until you're not
And it's okay
It's always okay
Even when it's not
It doesn't have a choice
