What was life ?


If it was or had been
worth living
it could not have been made up of corridors,
sordid dawns, sleepless nights, lightless labours,
form-filling, revulsion, routine, reputation,

slavery, cluster-bombs, torture
and devastation,
endless waiting, disappointments,
resignation.

  2. Wouldn't you call your enumerations bad luck, or bad karma, or being in the wrong place at the wrong time, rather than "life"?
