Pandemic Lament (redux)
My depression is deeper
than yours.
My existentialism is darker.
You have Kierkegaard.
I have Fro Niz-nil-imbo.
My nihilism is bleakest.
I can’t imagine Sisyphus happy.
“He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision—he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath:
‘The horror! The horror!’ ”
— Joseph Conrad / Heart of Darkness
