inviting drama

for the
empty &
meaningless
existence of
evolution’s
accidental spurting of
sperm to egg in order
to form
you,
may not make your
days
pass by as
satisfactorily
as you might want them
to,
so we invite drama---
letting other stressed out,
idiosyncratic, just-on-the-brink-of-
violent-psychosis
individuals
into our lives
in order to
mutually pretend that
now
something
matters---
sure, s/he makes your life
“hell,” but it takes away
the concentration of one’s
thoughts on the fact that
inevitably,
you are going to die &
that it will all have been for
nothing &
though s/he might drive you
mad or even to the point of
killing
yourself,
still, entertainment of the idea
that there was meaning in the
fight,
seems to never really wash
away---
this ridiculous,
very human,
debacle,
places one on an
emotional roller coaster
&
you
ride at your own
risk.
