“One Must Imagine Sisyphus Happy”

7.30.22

We know that Camus said this
and said it with a bathtub’s worth of meaning
but others have said it now
and many times over
adding their own water
but also exposing the sentence
to more context
and bolstering it in so doing

These sentences themselves become
small gods in the sublimn

And I imagine Camus is there too
perhaps as a demigod

Think of all the humans there
Think of all the small god sentences
Think of where you find them

Camus at The College
where many of them probably reside

What form do their sentences take?

I imagine this quote as a
Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
named Omish or OMISH at Camus’ side
perhaps even riding in a motorcycle’s side car
with goggles and a helmet
