Thoughts 2022-03-22: We All Must Cross Alone

We all must cross alone,

When we split from meat and bone.

For time does wound,

And so does space,

A precious boon,

Thus displaced.

We all must pay the boat,

Our own coin, to cross the moat.

For time is long

In the in between,

A precious song

Now obscene.

We all must lose it all

When, at last, we go all in.

The game is rigged.

We're born to lose,

Our best unhinged

Not bemused.

We all must cross alone.
