Attempt
August 8, 2011
Alone in the dark
Everybody is trying
To find the light switch
Grappling with life
Afloat adrift awoken
Meaningless meaning
Words are just markings
Or vibrations through the air
Or all or nothing
Letters made from limbs
Of broken stick-figure men
Who died to make sense
Sometimes it’s too hard
To try, fearing failure, so
We don’t try at all
Search for meaning here
If you find some, let me know
It was an accident
