Thank you! oh universe! for your resounding reply The answer to our infinite begging the question In the face of indiscriminate pain, love, and will You gave us your only consistent truth And without it we would not even have these wonderful happenings that we call humanity Without your blatant disregard for everything we have ever wanted and needed We would have none of them anyway for it is only against your antithesis of will that we find ours And only now do I see why I can't embrace you because will is all I have In your infinite lack I find myself And in choosing to not act one still makes a choice And that is the rub
