Life, Vanity upon vanity!
Counting countless countable,
Of memories memorized for memories
Bathing bateless battle,
Of agonies, agonized from agony
Deepening dripless depth,
Of sanity, sanitized for sanctity
Patching pathless past,
Hoping for a hopeless hope.
Fighting ‘the forgone’ fight,
By Celebrating a lifeless life.
Driving ‘catawampus’, but a soul knows no pause.
Cloddy! Rejoicing over a lifeless life?
Denying denial, betraying betrayal
Life, Vanity upon Vanity!
Culled from my unpublished book.
