yorick’s laugh

walk into the beauty

outside and

you may find

it has walked

inside you

*

humankind is often

not so kind

and sometimes

even less human

*

to be

is not to be

for both are tied

like a knot

around one’s neck

where the only defense

is words

and the only defense against that

are more

*

there is a grand philosophy

that connects all

and this is it:

there is no

way to connect all
