Give In


In a world with no meaning,
you have to fix yourself to a dream.
Become a scarf,
ends blowing in the wind,
an accouterment,
an accessory to facts
that can’t be believed.

Commit yourself
to the insanity
of what you need there to be,
so you can survive
as long as possible
in this place,
and possibly in eternity.

Give in. Give in
to a better sense
of confusion.
Give in. Give in
to a better sense
of it all.
