I was dead serious

It’s you who were deeply casual

And managed to flip it

What a cosmic joke;

I faked freedom

To be a Free Woman

You imposed responsibility

In your pursuit to be a Better Man

Neither enterprise was real

It’s a cosmic joke;

Am a sucker for beauty

You crave the same stuff

But worked yourself, unwittingly, into wanting

Something more acceptable and recognisable, more imaginable and foreseeable

And perhaps more commendable and even conceptually noble in your universe

What a cosmic joke!
