As Long As I Kept My Body

Everything Passes. Nobody Gets Anything For Keeps. And That's How We've Got To Live.

As Long As I Stared At The Clock, At Least The World Remained In Motion. Not A Very Consequential World, But In Motion Nonetheless. And As Long As I Knew The World Was Still In Motion, I Knew I Existed. Not A Very Consequential Existence, But An Existence Nonetheless. It Struck Me As Wanting That Someone Should Confirm His Own Existence Only By The Hands Of An Electric Wall Clock. There Had To Be A More Cognitive Means Of Confirmation. But Try As I Might, Nothing Less Facile Came To Mind.

When I Wake Up, My Pillow’s Cold And Damp With Tears. But Tears For What? I Have No Idea.
