Oedipus had fair warning
& still he made his choices
much like me & you
if we were to take the time
to think on what we do
& who wants any of that?
time spent in contemplation
of the inevitable
instead of acting no malice intent
so like Sartre
did but did not say
we act
we do
& be
what we are destined to be
not all of us motherfuckers
but proud actors on our own stage
awaiting the curtain
