Life
Life is a snapshot,
No, life is a movie,
No, life is a chain of snapshots,
No, life is a series of movies each with a different theme,
No, life is a series of snapshots without connection.
If no connection is true then the time between snapshots is just wishing,
designing our own idea of existence between those vivid experiences.
But what happens when reality attacks those wishes and asks “why”
The snapshot fades, the film freezes, distorts, shrinks, burns and goes dark.
And, I still ask, “what is life”?
