Sisyphus Tries To Kill Himself
I. Just.
Can't.
Get there from here damn it.
Every time I try for the crushing blow
the damn rock rolls sideways
or I'm too slow getting under it
and so, too weary to heave
a relieving sigh
I make my way back down the mountainside
to roll the boulder back up it one more time.
No one ever told me
it's harder going downhill.
