A Long Distance Platonic Girlfriend

Silly is this sounds and probably is,
sometimes I feel I’d like to have

a long distance platonic girlfriend.

I’m old with low T, so consummation
isn’t as important to me,

but contact with a woman could be.

Some contact with a supportive woman
just might be good for me

without the need for the presence.

Without the need for the problems that
could occur face to face such as

the greater likelihood of arguments.

And if I had such an unusual relationship
and it lasted till my or her death,

maybe we meet again face to face in the
afterlife

and be together happy forever.

Eternal Bliss Consciousness

When I die there’s a chance
I might dissolve into the cosmos.

I’ve been close to that place before,
but I chose not to enter it.

I was too frightened, fearing I’d lose
everything near and dear to me.

I felt all that would be obliterated
completely out of my world.

When I die, I’ll have no choice to
enter or not enter.

I believe I just might melt into the
eternal bliss consciousness.

Of course, I could be wrong and
what is me might just perish.

No more me, dead forever, rotting
in the cold ground.

If that is the case, I’m totally okay
with that real possibility.

No me, no problems, a kind of
imperturbable peace.

A Spinning Earth

I’m sitting on a spinning earth,
and I don’t even know it.

I mean, I’ve read it’s spinning,
but I don’t know it empirically.

Never have I felt it spin and
have no sense of it moving.

So like someone believing
the world is flat,

I’m just going on belief without
being able to confirm the spinning.
