no one wants

this metaphysical stuff?


well too bad

it is as it is


and it's there in every tall tale

you bore your companions with


it's there in every uttered word

of romance with which you


and your beloved try

to hold back the ever imposing night


and it's there in every unattended moment

when you're not even thinking about it


and you ignore life to embrace life

despite this metaphysical truth....
