How Can Anyone Not

Like the snake
Chasing its tail
I am of no use
To this situation
Can't figure out
If nobody or
Everyone is to blame
Who's throat to slice
Who's baby to pamper
If there is anything left
Save the daily distractions
Dragging us through
Another week
Month and blur of a
Lifetime

With no future
Of my own
No roots or legacy
Withstanding
Why should I care
Why should I worry
About a sunset
No descendent of mine
Will ever see
A great question
To be certain
But one to which
I already know
The answer
