As it has been said
the age of
Kings and Heroes
is over
It's like we now
live in the age of
anti-heroes, cads and clowns
Like we're stuck in
an Ionesco, Beckett or Pinter play
It's all just an absurd comedy
but serious shit happens
all the time
dark, sad, irrevocable events
A bad sitcom filled
with death
and the ends of things
But it's all so silly
inconsequential
and there's a laugh track
The laughs come
all the time
even at the most
inappropriate moments
There's some cosmic joke
hanging over everything
like a black, mirth-filled cloud
