Best Forgettable Things

Story

The best things are those you forget

Because they’re little

We’ve forgotten that we’re moving in this universe

That we’re existing

We’ve forgotten we’re humans

And humans will be big and afterwards will be small

And just like particles in anything you will find

Pressure will pin you down

And some particles stick better but mine somehow don’t and that of many others too

Because we’re not metals

Because we’re skins and flesh and blood and bones and nerves

And everything is moving and everything is changing and everything is wild

But we want it to be tamed like we want to tame everything

We want to tame our minds, we want to tame our behavior, we want to tame our pets

We want things to stop, we want control, we want to control, we want to be controlled

We want to be big and we want to be small and we want to be nothing and we want to be everything

And we want to close our eyes and we want to never wake up

And we want to wake up again but some people can’t anymore

And we forget how good it is to wake up and to go to sleep

And to move again and to achieve something

And to eat and drink and to not run around with worries and anxiety

We forget how much we want to be here in this moving universe so easily

When we’re small, when we’re helpless, when we forgot how big we were before

And how in comparison things are a lot smaller now and more forgettable

Because we once mastered them but when we don’t anymore

We forget

That the best things are those ones we forget
