The Theory Of Hd

Rating: 5.0


As I turn sixty today
I say:
I have not the Theory of Everything
I have the Theory of Life(HD)
Where H equals Hard and D equals Drive.

HD=E/F

Where E is Ennui and F equals Function.

Life is Ennui over Function;
Function, Ennui over Life;
Ennui, the Function of Life.

And after life?

Six lines
Of 'Six Great Ships of the Line':
titanic
britannic
googlitic,
cynic
pessimistic
and ic.
