In a vision of the moment cast aside,
and yet – with each intake of breath –
There would seem to be a harmony,
what’s more – a dreaded repetition.
Why does the cycle present its terror
Except in the knowledge of what was before.
Therefore, no man feels stable, secure,
Nor draws comfort from that
which has become oh so predictable:
And in the tortured will to survive
Man surrenders life to existence.
