coffee dreams and Camus

I read

Le Mythe de Sisyphe

yesterday

and stared at the wall

for 10 minutes

afterwards

the only thing

i could think

was how

my dreams felt so real

when I drank coffee

before sleep

how I spend my time

trying to find

what God could be

and how a writer’s diary

could destroy the world

 

Well I wrote in my diary later

that there was no point

in writing anymore

there was no rational reason

to create

But today I wrote again

that I may as well be

Sisyphus himself;

but instead of a rock

it was pen and paper

 

I scrawled at the bottom

in cursive

‘One must imagine Sisyphus happy’

and closed my notebook

for a short while
