How Could You?

Read the instructions?

How could you that suggest

When I could go on living

In the unending circularity

Of meaningless pursuits

Passing days and weeks and years

Hurriedly unthinking

Finding ways to structure time

Without resonance or rhyme

Worrying and scurrying,

Chasing dreams that can’t come true

To keep from feeling

Love

Inspiration / Author Note

Do you feel caught up in a meaningless life? Read the instructions.
