restrictive,
and frightfully
dull though it is,
an eternity
of tedium
might have its upside—
which is
namely, that it's difficult
for its downside
to exist.
if, after death,
a fearless
soul does not present itself—
if no reckoning
or cessation,
but only some dis-
embodied lack
of interest
in either one persists—
what is found
shall quite obviously
mean very little, since
what might have been
lost can no longer
haunt us
or put its
religious-
sounding words
in our mouths.
