ROTFLMAOA Poem by Vol"I think therefore I am.” But, but, but… what are thoughts? Electric flashes of blue in my dark recesses that translate to these lights I’ve awakened in you? So… You think, therefore, what? You ARE? You Am?
What are you looking at? I mean, really! I’m at my desk, as real as reality allows, I know, because I bumped it with my thigh and now there is a purple bruise as proof.
In my swivel seat I’m thinking about what I write, the words you are reading right now... but what are you looking at? Black squiggly lines on your screen? My thoughts? And what happens if we lose power in media res? I could never reproduce a duplicate from my fragile memory, lightening never strikes twice...
A million years ago when I read Shakespeare from Stoppard’s point of view, the professor rambling on about levels of “reality,” existence waiting in the wings, appear, speak, disappear… Enter stage left Rosencrantz: “Why then,
your
ambition makes it one; 'tis too Guildenstern: “Which dreams indeed are ambition, for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.”
Like me… like all of us afloat, billions of years spent aimless in the void.
Enter stage left Here I am! I AM! Therefore, my lines. Exit stage right. © 2024 Vol |
