The Splendid Awareness of Your Own Futility


There are some things that don’t emerge with a hoover –
   the truth, for example.
What happens after we die and why do we care?
Now watch through the deleted scenes of your life.
Interference.
Indifference.
Inconsequential.
The rebirth of lunacy.
Everything in black and white.
Everything depends on everything else.
The miracle of turning water
into a knife-throwing accident.
You again?
Nothing makes a sound –
   read that two ways.
Everything is its own background.
‘He dodged a bullet there!’
Try never to forget that everything is a game
and not necessarily a good one.
