Routine

To have a routine – 

Implies one’s life largely –

Goes by set of expected events

Is devoid of any unpleasant surprises

Has activities to get distracted 

Has a beginning & an ending every day

Yet does routine take away life’s essence?

The ability to get surprised by events

Happening in next second/minute/day?

Is building a routine 

a defense against such surprises

Or a coping mechanism 

To stop pondering about the finitude?
