This poem is based on the events that have transpired so far in a story I've been writing and posting in the prose forumns Look down Kelvin looks down what do you see? It's all familiar words replacing noise sense cacophony. He's reading now I -- I see a man wandering in a desert. He's tired and hungry, thirsty and dying. Wu listens to Kelvin pronounce the words, his composition now coming to life, his travels laid bare without Kelvin's knowledge. He's lost and the sun never stays still, stumbling among distant dunes, his mind listless so long as he forgets the original purpose for which he came here, which was... You forget how to read that word? No, it's not that. I just wish I knew why I was here, why I had to go through all this with you despite knowing that it all went by in an instant. Wu is perplexed now You have a guiding spirit, just like the wanderer in the desert. Who is he? Kelvin is terrified now. He's been thrust into this hell of monotony by a woman he met in the darkened room of his own mind. Lindsay He is you and you are he It's a secret road you both tread, winding and monotonous. Life's short. Think hard! Me! |
