Absurd

A paroxysm of hopefulness

In the midst of meaninglessness,

The bailiwick of a universe 

That casts us as dramatis personae

In its theatre of the abusrd. 

 

A tragicomedy of trials

And errors, a cyclical obsession;

But even in this losing

Struggle of Sisyphean repetition,

Simply doing battle

Can be the benediction.

Absurdism often mimics reality, don't y'all think?

You manage to convey so much in so few lines of poetry, Holden. Stunning and I agree with Stephen, I can certainly see 'Waiting For Godot' in this poem.

Thanks, Holden. I think even Vladimir and Estragon must have seen a silver lining on this basis.
