It's a joke, I tell myself
And sometimes
I'm let in on it.
Or so I tell myself.
I saw a picture
It was my brain
Slices and the Doctors
He said, "Wow!"
People ask nonstop
Questions that
In honesty
Create lies and whys
If I give up fighting
Against the base
And mundane
Will I win?
Is that the Joke?
Should I play?
I know time now
My hair is grey.
Ceux qui ont apparié notre vie à un songe ont eu de la raison...Nous veillons dormants et veillants dormons. -Montaigne
Intro
O full-orb'd moon, did but thy rays
Their last upon mine anguish gaze!
Beside this desk, at dead of night,
Oft have I watched to hail thy light:
Then, pensive friend! o'er book and scroll,
With soothing power, thy radiance stole!
In thy dear light, ah, might I climb,
Freely, some mountain height sublime,
Round mountain caves with spirits ride,
In thy mild haze o'er meadows glide,
And, purged from knowledge-fumes, renew
My spirit, in thy healing dew!
Goethe: Faust I.
