The Last Word
We'll all know at the end
silence shall have the final word
all our ramblings will be proven
to be inane and absurd-
life, the perennial abstract--the we, the they
the I and the you-- the dearth
of meaning, the existential emptiness
only around its dubious peripherality do we aimlessly skirt.
(poem written this morning in an eastern suburb of Melbourne
when I was resting on a wooden bench in front of the local library
having a cup of coffee---sunny, winter ends this month-
I was in a contemplative mood. Thursday in Australia)
