Existentialism

Remember when you are bemusing,
And daily decisions confusing,
    That for life existential,
    The thing that’s essential
Is never the choice but the choosing.
    —Cyril Hughes

I suppose I could try if I chose,
But the question is: “Can I suppose
    I could choose what I chose if
    I chose?” I suppose if
I chose to. But nobody knows.
    —“E. F. C.”
