stone of sisyphus
excerpt from a stream of consciousness writing exercise.
reworked for structure.
king sisyphus tried to fool the gods
and was condemned to an eternity
of doing fuck all
sisyphus' stone weighs more
than a brick through a window
and less than your final cigarette
sisyphus' stone weighs pleasantly
on his muscular shoulders
during his free time when he is tired
sisyphus rolls a stone to unwind
sisyphus' stone is a place
for your advertisement
sisyphus' stone is sponsored
by the company better help
i saw sisyphus yesterday
in the bathroom at the gay bar
but i think he wasn't rolling a stone there
we must imagine sisyphus happy
we must imagine the stone happy
sisyphus' stone does not cry when rolled
sisyphus' stone laughs when squeezed
we must imagine sisyphus happy
we must imagine the stone happy
sisyphus imagines that his stone is happy
sisyphus' stone wept in my arms last night
we must imagine sisyphus happy
we must imagine the stone happy
we must imagine the first cigarette
that we smoked together
we must imagine the last cigarette
that we will smoke together
we must imagine sisyphus happy
we must imagine the stone happy
we must imagine sisyphus happy
we must imagine the stone happy
we must imagine sisyphus happy
we must imagine the stone happy
we must imagine sisyphus happy
we must imagine the stone happy
sisyphus' stone stopped smoking yesterday
and today is going out with me for a smoke
