Bouncing...

Take your dictionary from that shelf and open it for me. Leaf through it until you get to the Bs. Look up bounce. Does it say anything under bounce off the walls. Is that sub entry even there? What does it say?
Our heads are simply too hard to bounce. Stubborn heads don’t bounce. And don’t mesh.
Maybe if we were children.
Children in stature and children in spirit. Not just in deeds.
Maybe if we wanted anything enough to cry and whine and yell to get our way…
I think I may have been the child between us. I feel like I’ve cried and whined and yelled and bounced off the walls… so much more than I should have and to no avail.
Certain degrees of passivity are too frustrating to witness and can’t be combated with hyperactivity… it just accentuates it. It intensifies it and proceeds to erode you to the point where you get persuaded to go along with it… becoming passive yourself.
I may have reached that plain.
