Flash in the Pan
Life is like a flash in the pan, you see / irretrievably brief, so hard to grasp; / just as old Demosthenes intoned when asked /
his thoughts on reasons for gods, citing as /
well twas hard to tell owing as well to /
said question's nature, thus pleading acquittal /
of bland quizzicality and hoping /
was he for some little ease /
in having aggravating circumstance / relieved and preferring to stay seeing / the world as atoms jostling in a void. /
The alternative being a constant rush /
of amazement rough hewn and wooden /
fleshless sight of lemmings dazed on the march /
over sill of cliff to selfie spill self /
into prefab ditch to toss roll and pitch /
like marbles' roll of swirl in bowl and drown /
out the sound of no meaning round and round /
That was yesterday then, so this is now / when it doesn't make much made of sense / to say this its explosivus combustion /
began spontaneous from some static / prestar condition of microsoup / then touched by infinite's angelic wand /
of slender whispy shape from great beyonds /
numberless uncountable length of span /
respun unaccountably poetic /
multiversically in league with spheric / rhetoric tones from ideazones who / too by holy stick explode in tomes of / unique meaning gleaned clean as drifting flakes / from single mind combined with us, the near /
sightless deaf and hearing blind conflagless /
yet of wingless flaging jest sublime. /
