just babbling here for a moment or two

so, what is it?

what keeps you alive.

i mean besides

food and water,

shelter.

but beyond that, is it love,

family.

religion.

curiosity, sex?

or is it the cinema

and books or

Netflix?

maybe it's work,

or maybe

it's wine.

what floats your boat,

melts your

butter? what makes you

get up in

the morning and do it all

over again

with nearly the same results?

what winds

your watch

and keeps you ticking.

what or who

puts a spring in your step

a smile

on your face,

and pushes you forward

into another day?

okay,

i'm done here.

i've run completely

out of cliches

for one lame poem.
