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
