The Smile of Godot

In an instant all will vanish
Separated, out of touch
From this world we shall be banished
For the questions asked too much
Wait for me, I know the answer
In the episode I saw
Godot walked in like a dancer
Like he never did before
And he said that he is sleeping
And he dreams of us like we
Are the ones that keep believing
That it’s him who makes us see
But it’s all untrue, he said
Get a life, before you die
But you know that we are dead
I replied, but he just smiled
You were sleeping on your sofa
And the TV sound went through
It was heard a little softer
In the garden grown by you.
