all we can do
is all
we can do
no matter
how much
we wish
it were different.

if i were
normal
maybe
i could find
happiness
but no one
has managed to
show me what
normal is
as of yet.

and everyone
seems miserable.

maybe abnormal
is in the eye
of the beholden.

nobody knows
anything
not really
not for certain
some just pretend
in a nearly
believable
fashion.

all i know is
the only thing
in all the universe
worse than ignoring
the inherent absurdity
of existence
is a two bit poet
spouting philosophy.

unless reincarnation
turns out to be true.

fuck.

one time
is more than enough
for a life
full of regrets.
