Philosophy

Isn’t that true?, we say, Of love, life – ah, Lovelife, AIDS. Isn’t that true?, we say. Ain’t that always the way? Of all the gin-joints, Fate hurts, pleases. Ain’t that always the way? It happens like that, hey? You split, you split, The wrack goes under. It happens like that, hey? Lady luck in town today? Serendipity Is beautiful. Lady luck in town today? And so we fight, we cry, We laugh, and sense Is found too late. And so we fight, we cry. At the time, asking why, Then books and films And songs and art: Empathy, philosophy, But at the time, just – why?
