It's too late by the time you see it....

Once you recognize Absurdity
it sees you as well.
You can't fight it
there is nothing to win
plenty to lose
Absurdity will let you join in
Heck, it wants you to bring a friend
Absurdity always has something
To sell
but nothing to prove

Joe Frank died yesterday . May he rest in peace.


Toast

Poor Man
watching the grandkids
Kids say
Grandpa -can we play with the toys
Grandpa says
I don't have any toys
Kids say
Grandpa
-can we play with the animals
Sorry kids
I dont have any animals
kids are dejected
Wait ...says grandpa
You can play with the slices of bread
but don't name them

Cause grandpa did not want them to have an existential crisis
over the BLT he was planning to fix them for breakfast

if Mom and Dad found out, Grandpa would be toast
