and assess the facts on the ground
have you grown even a smidge
less grotesque more profound
really what side of the family
is always trying out extinction
which turns out to mean
being pretty thoughtless and mean
since no one’s going anywhere
who isn’t returning soon
thus our souls are subject to disease
which we overcome or die
often after a long illness
where all the stages of philosophy
are re-lived and re-distilled
in richly-colored tableaux
life scurrying into art
as if it could escape
