Making it Harder and Easier
They converse about the names of things,
the hard world of the senses
and things they are
supposed to find important
as long as they can listen.
They keep themselves
buried in facts and
dream only about the things
and the value of what
can be taken away from them.
I always thought that death
is easier for those
who live in a world of feeling
and talk in riddles about that
which can't be touched or grabbed.
They are
halfway there already.
