philosophy

[furtherthanfurther]

early evening
displays of life
a sauteed matinee;
a small soiree
where questions of death
entomb the summer day

spontaneous philosophy
fills the foyer
where faceless friends
contemplate beginning and end

and I, not knowing where
to lay my flowers down,
drop them on the floor
to be stepped on
like every time before

and in an epiphany
I exclaim
Thats Life!
but unanimously they disagree
and say to stop thinking
optimistically
