Sisyphean Sonnet Sophia Gottfried ‘21 Oh you absurdly happy fallen king Of whom I think when logging on To digital school cycles in inside spring Ennui overtakes all with meaning gone To scroll through feeds as Google’s trifling pawn While walking technological traced trails Where flashing screens broadcast the next black swan We live only through fables, fantasies and tales We run confined to these supply train rails, Before a little engine that could win Now praying my wasted will prevails Just so once more I can do it all again I know this chugging is just simply life, So I will fight to love even this strife.
21
