Raft of sanity

When the gaze of existence falls on you, will there be room on the raft? Will sanity shield you? Will you choose the sham or the substance?

Humans will always believe in some otherness floating out just beyond their daily lives. A clean slate and some clean laundry on a small craft as buoyant as hope

For pigs, there is no raft to belly up to. The simple prosaic pleasures of another day lived through had better be enough.
