an analogue

of happiness

by Roberto Lavidez

to touch

upon the

secrets of the

human heart

and conscience

already inclined

to guilt

is to struggle

with the

problem of

Dostoevsky

the wholly

inhuman

dimension

of evil

one thereby

comes to

have a survey

of the entire

scheme

questioning  

the righteousness

of a God who

allows evil

on a

monumental scale

in the world he

is reputed to

have made

probably

pointless

to worry about

probably too late

to think of

the theatricality

of purpose

mind drifts

due to mere

carelessness

carried away

by nothing

more blissful

than the stream

allowed to

fall asleep and

not be wakened

that we had

lent our ear to

an idle curiosity

while our feet

trudge on into

the dumb

expanse

of freedom

making ourselves

deaf to the

divine voice

for the purpose

of being able

to hold on

to a theory

which requires

but little

racking of

the brain

a delight

one takes

in one’s existence

an analogue of

happiness

without being

corrupted in

any way

no way of

having recourse

to synchronicity 

that seems to hover

to any intuition

upon which it

might be based

that it were ever

possible for a

created being

to attain to

such a state

to swerve

unpredictably from

the generation

of truth statements

one does not

have to think

perfect equilibrium

to bear 

a formidable

power of will 

in the pursuit of

total wakefulness

one can choose

to bypass the

truth dilemma

and attain the

condition

of myth
