Building Questions

CuldeSac
The bitter pill tastes like melancholia
It is somber and quiet like outer space
You suckle on it rolling it with tongue
You are outside sitting on park benches
It is a beautiful day having a barbeque
Without clear business I can taste it
The very flavour where within I start
The construction of these deep questions
About trivial things that are obvious
I see how like in the past I do this
In order to fill the silence with noise
The question is what are you doing now?
In essence you are living this life
The most elusive question of them all
A thing it is to realize that I am stupid
To say that the meaning lies behind
The reason you should ask this question
This is simply bias in favor of curiosity
To find out what is truly happening
Just suppose quite the opposite of this
You would come to see the emptiness
Those who are alive do what the dead do
Which is absolutely nothing in pure bliss
What would it mean if there was meaning
Would either the living or dead find rest
If there was something you could point to
And say yes and well there it truly is?
So one becomes divinely quiet and timeless
For you can see how you are already dead
Really doing nothing now just as you will then
Rendering even the word 'then' as broken
