Adrift, drowning, drying, trying, and dying

We are connected
Like castaways
From other lives.

Losing heavily
Each day gone
But closer to the next.

Us ugly morons
In the universe
Are but ants in a puddle.

Assigning meaning,
Our intelligence
is artificial.

It’s all very interesting,
The tides that quench us
Are the same that drowns us.

What questions answer
Our souls and
What moons do we follow?
