*For lovers of Donnie Darko, I've written this not so much to explain the film but more as a mental stretch to see if I could capture the undercurrents of the message. Why do you wear that man suit? It doesn't become you just as the past doesn't become you unless you let it. We live in interesting times strange dreams and forebodings haunt days and fill nights. Circles and spirals are all we have to change the past re-write the future. Rabbits lead the way to wonderland down the rabbit hole with red and blue pill chioces and everything is changing especially me. The future is in flux. Madmen create reality and the children are forgotten until they wear men suits and live in the dark. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I don't know the movie - have never heard of it - but movie or no movie, I sure know that I love this poem. It held me spellbound throughout and I will be re-reading it many times. I don't follow it all - possibly/probably because I don't know the movie, but it is like an excellent painting or piece of music - one doesn't have to understand it to feel it and enjoy it. Thank you for sharing it. - Owl Correction - I have to read fast online as it is expensive - reading this offline, I think I do understand it fully. Beautifully put. - Owl [This message has been edited by OwlSA (12-16-2005 01:39 AM).] |
