Routine is useful
until you notice you’re inside it.
Same Loop Again catches the repetition of an ordinary day once it becomes impossible not to see it: the same alarm, journey, gestures and tasks, performed almost before there’s time to think about them. Even the smallest attempt to interrupt the pattern somehow finds its way back to the beginning.
Alarm goes off, same time again
Same route out, same train in
Screen lights up before I think
Thumb moves first before I blink
Different task but same result
Click it through, don’t interrupt
Try to change one small thing
Still end up repeating
Same loop again, don’t step out
Know the turns without a doubt
Run it once, run it clean
Nothing here I haven’t seen
Miss a step
Lose the pace
Back again
Same place
Same loop again, don’t step out
Know the turns without a doubt
Run it once, run it clean
Nothing here I haven’t seen
