casual manifesto of jejunism

I'm not a nihilist, I'm
a jejunist. I embrace
jejunism. "Jejune"
is "devoid of significance
or interest ; dull." Nihilism

Well, nihilism
makes this whole huge deal
obsessing over how absolute
the absence of meaning
and significance
is,

in

existence.

I prefer to see it all,
as it is
more,
or less, jejune,
and I dig that. As a
foundational aspect of
reality, complete
with its own
naturally-suggesting approach
to being, I think it

fits

like the ace bitch in a pack
of dog-eared cards, mussed,
variously marked and
agonizingly shuffled. It hits
the gist
to the crux
of things' cores,

far finer
than anything

nihilism's busted flush
and blank-faced hand
- five of a kind, nothing -

brings.
