Alice has no home

she does not do the things that

give substance or take account

merely being there is what she does

but nothing comes of it

wont get relief -

All things exist for no purpose

Nothing else happens but this simple fact

The only law in the Universe that cannot be contested

because no-one comes back from death and this
