existential advertising

People have started to hate 
the word and even the thought 
of it. It's called life, and I know 
why. I know what has turned
so many of us against it lately.

Nah, no, naw I'm kidding. I don't. 

Probably it's just misplaced priority
or expectation or something. I mean

on most scores, what you see is kind of
what you get, but half the time you walk 
right into a humid stink of pro-existence
propaganda, all doily and lacy, drooping
like overripe peaches cut up and topped
with dollops of fresh local honey, finished
with chocolate jimmies, and then when

your turn comes 

- where's my sweetness? Conclusion: 
bullshit, say a lot of people. I think 

that's why.

Just a guess
