The Paroxysm of Rage and Laughter

Sunday, April 1, 2007

Troubles indeed
Self-control has lost its navigation
Sensibility has been thoroughly
Vanquished and undone
By a certain Mr Circumstances
Whose circumcision has rendered him
Resume the tyranny of time and space
Poor, poor old master
Resigning to have his fate
Condemned to eternity
Not knowing which outburst to abide by
Anger, amusement, fury, hilarity
Laughter, mirth, rage, wrath
If only mortal could innovate
If only divine could intervene
This paroxysm might just cease, perchance

There is humour in your philosophies to be sure.
I really thought the first part genius.

(Sorry I haven’t been around as much, CS. Will stop by more often.)
