Commentary
The jury’s out on this one. I woke up the morning after posting it and thought, “Did I really write that?” For lack of a better category, I have put it under the themes “Experimental,” and “Self-Examination.”
Part of the problem is that I do not recall the context of this passing thought. Clearly, it struck me with enough force to elicit some lines of poetry. I think I must have been worried by the thought’s emptiness, its meaninglessness.
When you attend the theater of the absurd, then exit and encounter more absurdity outside, it warrants mentioning… or writing a few lines of poetry.
