Are we doomed?
Yes.
As we are plural,
we will always come to an end.
It is the nature of
the ten thousand things
that each follows an arc
through time and space
from beginning
to middle
to end.
Are we doomed?
No.
As we are one,
we live forever
outside time and space.
It is the nature of the one
that there is no thing,
no beginning,
no middle,
no end.
According to Virgil
ReplyDeleteFate is gossip’s greatest weapon,
Snooping in on everybody else’s business
Claiming that it can’t end well.
That large, plumed bird whose feathers
Are wagging tongues feels smug
Until the holidays when it is mistaken
For a turkey.
