First Line: Inanity of living palls on me

Subject(s): Hate


Inanity of living palls on me.
Almost at such times one can understand
When people hurl themselves
From tall buildings to their fates.
At least it's something hard
And palpable they meet.
But softness and uncertainties
Intangible and teasing --
Close around
With hateful inconsistency
Inevitably receiving.
