The Existential Deconstruction


Where light and darkness cease to be

There sit upon their sofas three

Our trio painted every gray

But with no exit from their play


They sit sometimes in reverie

In quiet, loathing what they see

At other times they shut their eyes

And tell each other courteous lies


But in their room there is no sleep

So courteous lies become too steep

For even blind men to believe

Who given time are undeceived


And since here time hath said farewell

Then surely others must be hell

So drop the spade, you've dug the hole

If others live within your soul
