A Modern Take on the Myth of Sisyphus

Preface:

This seemingly simple haiku is in fact a modern interpretation of the Greek tale The Myth of Sisyphus. While still incorporating the main theme of the tale-- a man's futile condemnation to eternally push a boulder up a mountain just to have it roll back down once it reaches the peak-- the haiku humorously incorporates the colloqial language of Generation Z. Perphaps with this silly haiku, we can all learn to see Sisyphus in ourselves.

 

It is prime grind time

                Bet: the rock will roll back down

The grind never stops
