Elliptical: Go Figure

Quite a week,
Never seen such heat!
And then the A/C went down
And there was grumbling all around;

Then when twas fixed again
Relief set in,
A temporary lull
Until the next complaint occurred;

But I’ll not delve into that
As tis just the usual scat,
Merely phenomena to observe
Before returning to the breath.

Finally an insight emerged
That lack of meaning
Does not precipitate a specific reaction,
Although accompanied by many moods,

These may be pleasant or unpleasant
But they are completely irrelevant
To the presence of a sense of pointlessness
But are purely practical instead.

If prospects appear to be well
Then in joy I dwell
But if I think I’m seeing oncoming bumps,
Then down I go into the dumps,

Upon how I think things are going
My spirits soar or plunge,
Not based on sense of purpose at all
Is my emotive rise or fall;

So much for Viktor Frankl
Who argued meaning is crucial
For happiness to be possible,
This may have mattered to him
But apparently not to this being.
