Two Spirits On A Fence Post Floated

Topic: HumorPoetry

Two spirits on a fence post floated;
humans below tripping on dirt and rocks in the road;
despair clung to each in varying degree,
which the spirits saw, for the people unknown.

“What do you call a suicidal philosopher?”
one spirit to the other inquired.
“You shall tell me, I//'//ve no doubt!”,
the second spirit uttered.
“Indeed I shall, as you knew;
I call them eternity butters.”

Suicidal philosophers are eternity butters? Well, if you butt up against eternity, and an answer is your only goal. You might as well top yourself.

You could call a suicidal philosopher Sylvia plath or a multitude of genius/'/s names , you could call them mad and I/'/m sure by our inferior knowledge of the brain and consciousness you would be justified in labeling such people as mad , but if you dare to look deep enough into the looking glass then you see all the best people are , mad as hatters and when you understand this you/'/ve fallen through the looking glass where I/'/m mad your mad ,here , where all of the best people are , my perspective is different to yours , until its not x love your poem got me thinking
