Whistle and Hum

As i think back to the days of my youth
was i ever into it?
or was it monkey-see, monkey-do
imitation
limitation
contemplation
masturbation
Maybe i'm just not that social

they say the only way we can find meaning in our lives is through human interaction
but what of the artist who dies unknown, did their life not have meaning
am i a phony?

i'm too saturated with ideas for originality
bombarded with useless information

am i tuned out,
or listening in?

can i tune out?
can i tune in?

at the end of the day,
at least i can say,
that i can whistle and hum at the same time.
