Can I Have My Learning To Go

What does it mean ?

When they say I don't read

With a straight face

You got to be joking ?

Reading is so important every day?

You do it automatically

I only do it when I have to

Why read when I can find anything I need to know on my new phone

I am taken back for a second

Don't you see ?

How much fun you can have?

When I read I am so bored

I fall a sleep almost instantly

I don't believe you for a minute

Your pulling my leg?

You read on your phone every day?

No I don't I text

You have to read your text don't you ?

Not really ?

I just glance and get the main points

If any of my text are too long I skip them all together

I go to you tube a lot or wait to see the movie

I am shocked

I love to pick up a book and let the words pull at my mind

A tug of war

That goes back and forth

I never know what words will win

I am in for the greatest challenge of my life

Sure I tend to lean to one direction or another

Trying to influence my mind one way

What I feel will benefit my body and soul

Then words creep in I didn't expect

I am bombarded with so many thoughts

It is impossible to control them all

Some slip through the cracks

Lucky I have my own army waiting

That carefully inspects every thought

More clever than the C. I. A.

Making sure only my best work is appreciated

Any mistakes that I make are left for further investigation

They are never a cold case

They are cases to be considered open and pending

Needing more information to make a proper evaluation

Then I ask more important questions

What are your plans for your future ?

I don't have any for today how could I possibly know next week or next year

That would be a waste of my precious time

Thinking about something that may never happen

Don't you know you make things happen

I don't believe that for a minute

If that was true I would be a millionaire and wouldn't be here

I just wake up every day and live my life

Any way I see fit

That is living

What about saving for a rainy day

I don't get it

I have know Idea what you are talking about

It is not raining and if it was

I would probably sleep my day away

Just like today

Why are you so tired ?

I caught reruns of Married With Children

It was a marathon one show after another

I watched three episodes then I fell a sleep

You yawn and show no enthusiasm

About what ?

There is nothing to be excited about

Just another day

As I am suddenly so frustrated and aggravated of our conversation

You don't even seem moved by it

I am just waking up

Too much for one day

My brain can't take it anymore

You know your brain has a limitless capacity to store billions of bits of knowledge

I don't want to remember all that

More stuff I will never use

Like school

Don't get me going

Where are you going

It is just an expression

Within seconds my fellow college student became less and less interested in our conversation

His eyes glazed over like on something

Going back on his phone he said I will be write back

I have to go the bathroom

I said did I bore you ?

This is your life we are talking about

I have lived more than half my life already

As he walks away

I feel like I am at the end of a scene

Where the camera fades out

As his body gets smaller and smaller until he is out of sight

I can't write anymore

Till I digest all this knew information

Trying to understand times have changed

I feel like I am trying to make a thousand piece puzzle

I have it half done from long hard work and careful preparation

You say

Puzzles what a waste of time

I can't be bothered

I would rather go play a computer game

So much more real life action

You don't know what you are missing ?

No you don't know what you are missing?

The thing I call life
