"And I never could have stood it unless / It all had not been so ridiculous"


Poem Artwork

Transcendental Sonnet #1403:

Buoyancy

 

It would now appear that I cannot stay

Suicidal for much more than a day

 

The waters of my life get really rough

But when I wind up sinking far enough

To hit the bottom I bounce up again

Absurdity through buoyancy takes pain

Away a day or so into the gloom

And I laugh alone in a lonely room

 

But better lonely room than lonely tomb

From lonely womb through fifty lonely years

Absurdity has wept away my tears

Has kept me afloat somehow until now

And I never could have stood it unless

It all had not been so ridiculous
