ADAM PONDERED ON THIS







If we were immortal, what would we do with thousands

Of years of feeling?  Would those first turbid infusions

Create a kingdom of serenity or would we outlast peace.



Would the imperative be to continue to taste the perpetual

Fruits of ongoingness   or would the contemplation of the

Beloved suffice?  Perhaps Adam pondered on this.



All of those who loved us from the first beginning would

Change their faces over time merging into a space of infinity

So as to no longer be recognizable.  Adam pondered on this.



We would constantly separate simply by existing and our

Flickering moods would morph us either into unknowingness

Of each other or a baneful, repugnant familiarity of contempt.



Nothing is itself continually, unless perhaps we resigned into

A puppetized mockery of our original self.  Adam pondered

On this and took it upon himself to choose death over life.



Maybe if Adam chose immortality the tempter would create

Another type of ruse where the problem of being and non being

Could be assailed in a different way; Satre would then be happy.



The existential problem is that we did not nor are we allowed to  

Create our self; we were created.  The boon of free will gave us

A choice to except perfection; Adam did not ponder on this.
