Drunken Cynicism

A cynic searching for meaning,

In a universe constructed of meaningless matter,

Fictional realities coalescing into one,

Which fictional coalescence to subscribe to?

He hopes for the one in which meaning resides in love,

Yet cynically believes that love is an intangible myth,

Ephemeral in essence.

However,

Of all the myths to cynically subscribe to, 

At least love has a biochemical foundation,

At least love leaves a neurological network,

At least love leaves tangible traces of trauma,

And what's more romantic than the biochemical, the neurological and the tangibility of trauma.
