Neurosis number 1 of x

A Poem by Craig Thomas
"

Short observations

"
It's accepted and normal protocol to stand there patient and still
Whist the cashier counts all your money before it is placed in the till
and yet I feel too embarrassed,I hide so the clerk doesn't clock it
I count like a blind man reading brail as I finger coins into my pocket

When walking past interesting houses, my eyes I cannot control
They sneakily peak through the window, like some kind of thief on parole
It's not a voluntary action, I have no aspirations to see
It's an inbuilt peculiarity, please don't say it's just me.

If some one undertakes me on the motorway, I really can't let it pass
Rather than say ce la vie, I drive like a stupid mad a*s
I'm aware its an unnecessary sport, but I must fulfil the need
I hypocritically undertake many more to reclaim my two second lead

When eating a meal with various food types, I do it in a particular way
At the start there isn't much method in fact its varied I'd say
But when I get past the half way point is becomes a mathematical feat
food types are divided and measured, two part vegetable to one part meat
