Before We Were Born

Before we were born
We did not mind not being alive
Why should we fear not being alive
After we are gone and have become
Unconscious Forever: No Conscience Evermore
Forever Evermore, as we become:
Unborn all over again

Some wonder: How does one know?
Maybe we just forget
As Earth's turgid subduction
Slowly churns us into being and back

And
Some say it's all transcendental:
Its presence is everywhere
I think I prefer my endless sleep
To more flowers of further conceit.
