FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

love as though you have not loved
work as though you are not working
think and think and never worry why you cannot stop thinking
live as though there is no life
and soon to die as though there is no death

i am this new existentialist.
i want you to know that i have never lived at all.

i have thoughts and you want them to be understood
ah, they are all irrational

i see beauty in wantonness
in disorder in everything that is in disarray

reality is disorder. The sooner that you notice this
and accept it as it is,
the sooner you shall learn to really live

random molecules appearing as a glass of water
crazy movements inside a hot cup of coffee
fumes like souls reaching the ceiling
and then, just like everything else,

disappearing. You see? You have not seen it at all.
