Blowing bubbles
He sits apoun his ledge quite and meek blowing bubbles
Mentioned in hushed and disproved tones
Known by all spoken too by none
Hes your best friend and passing thought
Nothing to him but he's on everyone's mind
We've all seen him once and will all meet him once
He has many names and anymore faces seen different to all
Accepted by some feared by others
He is the end the tail that's to be endlessly devoured

This poem is almost like an old myth about old titans watching the earth age. It seems as though the person in the first line "He sits apoun his ledge quite and meek blowing bubbles" is the entropy of the universe itself.
He exists in all places, with a tail being endlessly devoured, as if he is like Jormungandr, the Norse serpent who encircles the world.
One thing I am curious about it this line:
"Mentioned in hushed and disproved tones"
Are people afraid of the man blowing bubbles? Is what he is doing taboo? I'm curious as to why he is mentioned in hush tones.
Thank you for sharing this.
It's death I got the Inspiration for this after I saw the 18th century painting of death blowing bubbles and the hushed and disproved being that death is a uncomfortable topic for most
