Staring at it, mesmerized, he's part of the movie, part of the fantasy, part of the dream The kid has an "interactive role-playing experience" online... today is his fantasy parents' wedding -- this fourteen year old adolescent is the flower girl.... but what the hell, it's better than real life She's busy ironing... again. next its the dishes, then the laundry blissful routine, romantic habits controlling everything, knowing nothing They're smart... geniuses, really. Inside the soul is a vast emptiness of being, ...cold ...lonely ...desperate nothingness and a ravaging hunger Hungry for what? Would you like more mashed potatoes and gravy? Why no thanks, I'm stuffed. Condense nothing and it becomes everything Dripping from the soul into the conscience... overflowing the mind, the spirit, the body. The nothingness becomes everything, everything becomes nothing There is no meaning, no purpose, no life, without the kung fu, the game, the cleaning How sad that his existence is full of fantasy.... How much sadder that mine is not. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ' ' ` anada265 by Intrepid Travelor (c) 2001 anada e'zine `
