Dullness

Dullness! I am your devotee

You dispel the darkness of enlightenment

You drive away the heat of excitement

I have got rid of my dreams and imagination

Even tiresome fancies seldom nestle near me

Living and half living I see both the worlds

The world of the living and the world of the dead

I see the enthusiastic marketing men rushing about

in motley robes

I see the wizened deadbodies who were once alive

and who learned the emptiness of all human efforts

for socialism capitalism feminism and became wise

through experience

By your grace I am living as a dead man among the living

What could be more enjoyable than that?
