What’s it All About? October 15, 2025

The cold impersonal

avalanche of happenstance

leads any thinking person,

to the question,

“What’s it all about?”

The inscrutability

of the carnival mirror maze

we perceive as reality,

leads many to conclude,

there is no meaning,

there is no point,

there is no reason.

All there is,

is what it is,

and that’s all there is.

A sort of Popeye philosophy

that leaves us constantly,

wandering about

looking for the magic can of spinach,

that’ll make us strong enough,

to break through the distorted carnival mirrors

that make up,

our perception of this world.

To scan an open horizon

with a clear vista.

On our own

it always seems to be,

just around the next corner,

just over the next hill.

Or maybe,

tomorrow.
