[ NaPo 2017 ] Paradelle Universes
Be proud of yourself
Yeah, it's just one more
trophy on your shelf
likely to collect dust
But it is so much more
when you melt down the medals
and pour the metal into a single
testament to your commitment:
being the best
possible version of yourself
walking the spectrum of
all the alternate worlds
combined
these Paradelle Universes
where we live multiple existences
repeating verses in an untold
number of variations
none of which are ever perfect
nor can we retrace our steps
and edit our past mistakes
allowing us the luxury to fail

"none of which are ever perfect

THANK YOU for that. In a World filled with human fear over lack of perfection, you have taught us the power of error and the awe-inspiring humility of being human by standing naked in front of our peers.
I will freely admit that I never thought I would adjust to the horrific typos that would cause one to question my level of education. However, after reading this I realize how dependent we all are on machines for perfection vs ourselves for humanism.
The Wisdom you've demonstrated in that is something I could only strive for. And I am so grateful I trusted it.
And you see, THIS is why I think Dorothy should've loved Tin Man, as I do Magnetron the most.
Because their brain and processor is their heart.

A great last posting on NaPoWriMo
"But it is so much more

testament to your commitment:" ...
... it's the only way to look at it as spirits downed in virtual matter - but what a great way you have of expressing it - and in other poems too.
