MAYBE

 

 

Maybe, I'm going to bury myself 

In words. Sad words. 

Bad words. Mad words. 

Long words. Short words. 

Words of beauty, ugliness, 

Success, failure, the will to try. 

Words of discovery, exploration, 

a refusal to believe lies 

Agonise, antagonise, 

Words that ask why 

Cry, sob, beseech 

Fumble fall reach 

Aspire retire expire 

 

Maybe you get the bottom 

of all those words, exhausted, 

Perplexed; maybe you will find me. 

Maybe, regardless of my state 

 I will have a smile on my face. 

A cosmic particle, lost in space.
