This Life Brought to You By...

Roger Cowin

Suppose a person,
and it could be anyone,
though lets, just for the sake of,
call this person “you.”
Now suppose one day “you”
find that you are a fiction,
an imaginary being,
the errant construct
of another person’s migrant daydream.
You are not acting out of free will,
your every thought and decision
are being dictated by some
ambivalent, capricious god.
Would you curse fate?
Wail and gnash your teeth??
Insist that everything
is meaningless, without merit?
That your very existence
is nothing but a mockery invented
to entertain a sadistic population of readers?
Or would you be gracious?
Take a polite bow to the audience
for a tale well told
and exit the stage with dignity intact?
