Too True ?
Are we rain;
are we sane–ish
working with ageless energy,
planning to live forever,
life full of regrets and sorrows,
hoping for resurrection
— or —
at least reincarnation
— or —
forever with all our evil friends
in brimstone hellfire climes,
dissipating in smoke, breathed on
overcast, smoggy days in any
fossil fuel-powered factory or man-
ufacturing town in any hemisphere,
North, South, East, or West,
breathed out into interstellar spaces,
absorbed in passing quantum strings
only to find ourselves
here and now —
cosmic jokes, cheap laughs in the cheap seats?

One response to “Too true or at least more true than we’d like ?”
I am definitely ish… not sure about the sane part. This is a nice poem. Would love to read a sequel if you should ever feel so inclined. Life after death is a good topic to explore in poetry.
