This Life, Dear
This is a small thing - this life -
That fits into the palm of the hand,
That we turn over, poke with a stick,
And then parse with a dull knife
So that we can think we can understand
What it is that makes us tick;
But,
Listen carefully, dear, for this is all I’ve got:
Though you hear the heart still beating,
It’s a stopped clock.
