"A kiss"


Poem Artwork

The Existentialist

for Lucky
 
The existentialist always laughs last
Because he has nothing and all the rest
Is his
 
The existentialist always laughs best
Because he has no future and no past
 
The existentialist need only be
 
Which is
The hardest part of being one for me
Or another being being has kissed
Looking for meaning or reality
 
Like this
 
A momentary existentialist
Startled in a moment of existence
 
A kiss
From the universe for my persistence
 
The existentialist always laughs now
Because he has no future and no past
And having had nothing and all the rest
I can have as much as I will allow
 
My momentary existentialist!
Startled in a moment of existence
Like this!
 
A kiss
From the universe for your persistence

I like this, Steven. It's been a while since I've delved into such things, having stumbled my way through Kirkegaard (sic?), but I do recall that Woody Allen, a self-styled existentialist, wrote that if everything is an illusion and nothing exists, he definitely paid too much for his carpet. -gene.

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
