However I Choose

Under the wares again

Or under the wheels

Of this dreamy loco

Do we make life harsh

For our own hard lessons

To teach ourselves

Or is it the simple

Ecrutiating, perverse nature to tease

And torture ourselves

Am I mad from my own doing

Yes

Mad from the circumstances

That I, myself have created

Life is meaningless

Unless we determine that it has such

Given to goodness, if I so choose

Or should I give in to madness

And say 'fuck it'

Either or neither will matter

However I choose
