Dawn Determines Us
Dawn determines us
And nightfall
And the never fickle seasons
And mortality our impossible burden
And hope’s illusion
And each new born
Who knows nothing summarizes everything
Thus are we defined
Willingly accepting
The distractions and titillations of living
As if they matter
As if they make a difference
As if the ineluctable
Were but a passing fancy
As if we are here
Free and untrammeled
As if what we are
Is a mild surprise
Among the cacophonies
Of being
