Absurdity

It's normal
If it's weird
But it's Camus' world
If it's weird
Again and again

If it rolls up hill
Every day
Or rises downward
Once an hour
Absurdity's Dante

When Voltaire dreamed up
Candide's optimistic mentor
Every fifth cup of coffee
A Panglossy sheen
A golden nightmare

What does in the world mean
When it keeps coming and coming
And you don't know which preposition
Your relationship with the world
Is defined by

Above isn't right-side up
Below isn't wrong under
Inside a little
Among to be sure
Across when it's on

Bearing with the polar
Raccoon's cocoon butterfly
Crow's shoes flying
A straight bee line
Naturally repetitive
