floating

in a void

by Roberto Lavidez

what a

labyrinth

is the

human head

that one

cannot make

certain of

the truth

indignant

with rage

and fueled

with an

almost

maniacal

sense of

self-

importance

unmindful

of own past

misadventures

pronounced

them rather

quixotic

it seems

no longer

to have any

basis of

its own

and to

float in

a void

without

recognizing

the actual

series of

events as

they

happened

it is altogether

a matter of

indifference

at a certain age

how one is

launched

into

eternity

it is far

from knowing

even in an

approximate

way

the nature

of man

and societies

pieces of

the plot

do not

appear

to fall

into place

or the course

of history

might have

followed

a different

course

the bond

which unites

the cause

to the effect

is reciprocal

to an extent

regardless of

the human

suffering

caused

by the one

and the

human

advantages

offered

by the

other

one  could

be driven to

imbecility

in such

a milieu

like

nonentities

concocted

according to

university

recipes

are useless

in practice

theories so

completely

entangled

with one

another

that it is

not easy

to perceive

where one

begins and

the other

finishes

there appears

to have

something

of a turf war

inside the

head of

professorial

riff-raff

to take  

control

of its

brain cells

without

subtle

ingenuity

of mind

the most

senseless

misapplication

of human

effort

is the

complete

nonsense

that contributes

to a sense

of social

solidarity
