habit of relatedness

the habit of relatedness

is where familiarity 

is a comforting blanket.

commands are given

to a well trained dog of a self-body.

execution is mindless observation,

as almost post cards of the past revisited.

the sequence is honored

with maybe the slightest of a whisper.

one settles in,

as if routine was one's best friend.

this is a version 

of being appropriately dressed.

but it covers more real-estate

than just one's body.

it's the addition of props and passage,

as in the ritual of dressing.

movement becomes 

an extra sensory experience.

this could lead to mirror-time,

as in first cup

or key turn

or lip-service rendered.

memory has warmed to the tasks.

greeting is a form of passage,

as with the inanimates of visuals and usage.

yes, it's ritualistic,

but somehow emotionally rewarding.

it's the extension of waking up

taken to the extreme of living . . .
