strange poetries 3 (2 jade)
writing verse to a girl..
how archaic..
but what am i to do (?)
like the old cartooned plot..
i was dropped off at the wrong door step..
300 years late..
they've given some opportunity to notice the backstage door..
the zippers on the costumes..
the chipping paint on the cardboard scenery..
and the patched red curtain above that inevitably drops conclusion upon us..
but what am i to do with any of this evidence (?)
truth is mostly worthless..
it becomes the arch-antagonist..
and dreams have spoke to me in their way of metaphor and poetry..
i can anticipate the closing scene..
but i grow impatient..
and long to see the white blur behind all of this..
and lull us back in again..
to drown in nothingness..
tedium of tediums how could i ever pretend not to be all but choked with curiosity..
dreams have a consciousness all to themselves..
or consciousness IS the illusion entirely..
regardless..
i'll see you in the void..
behind dreams..
behind all of this..

I love the running theater imagery and you were able to use plenty of it without becoming distracting. I also love the slow disintegration into the mind. Finally, I'd like to commend you on your ability to explore the concept of nothingness and its appeal without sounding like angst. Good work!
