the fixation



"this makes sense"
"this does not make sense"
So much energy spent on
the manufacture of sense
In my dreams it is obsolete
the factories sit empty
dead with dust
home to silence
rust
and the lack of an answer

perfect

    Clever writing! I suppose "sense" is not a perfect measure, ha. Kudos to you. Best, Max
