Restlessness

ferment of feelings,

hunger for life,

kaleidoscope of possibilities,

energised weariness,

yearning to reach out and touch,

to spurn usual distractions,

to encounter

 

smell of leather

waft of sea

sound of Mozart

or 'I want to break free'

 

unsettled, 

casting around

floating, waiting for wind

free of the ground

 

tried new toys,

gone new places

wanting adventure

with smiling faces

 

which will not be enough,

how can an ape

have this stuff

inside?

 

Inside inside inside

Deep inside

 

Where I am

 

restless

I can identify with this Dave, all the toys eventually get stale.... I guess it's part of the Human condition...

I think restlessness is one of the things that distinguishes us from other apes, Dave... I've often said we would be happier without such self awareness and intelligence.
I can hear a bit of Queen (the group) echoing through this.

There is an awful lot in here I can identify with - you didn't include the dead hamster though...
