Lunch Break

Theia

She looks down at the plate of baked salmon and pasta salad, waiting to be eaten
Today's funny page laid out before her, waiting to be read
Here in this small break room
In this small office
In this small town

How significant is this moment?
How significant is any moment?
To the "big picture"? To the "grand scheme" of things?
Why should it even matter?
Curse knowledge and invention!
Curse discontentment and dreams!

She stares at the lunch and the funnies laid out before her
Feeling quite insignificant

hedonist

Is she you?

We're all (in)significant - where or when the parentheses are removed is relative, subjective.

The smallest oceans...yada yada

Nicely-written, invites introspection. Thank you.
