An infinite jest

Pacific Coast Highway, Near Santa Cruz, California, United States of America
Sometimes life seems an infinite jest

How crazy it is
This point of consciousness
Travelling through space and time
On a ship of meat and bone

How crazy it is
That there is something
Rather than nothing

That in this something
There is an I
With eyes to see the something
And a mind to create
The beauty from the something
That would be nothing
Without the eyes
Attached to I

When this ship crashes into earth
Becomes the dust again
From which it came
Will I also become
Nothing again

Or join again
The nothingness
That is something
Beautiful
In this infinite jest
That is life and death
