4 conversations

conversation between day and night

 

DAY you’re so shadowy dangerous scary

 

NIGHT and you’re so bright cheerful positive it’s sickening

 

DAY you’re troubled conflicted disturbed concealing colluding everything in darkness

 

NIGHT like you don’t have your ***** secrets the difference is you’re in denial pretending everything is sweet pretty perfect

 

DAY i can’t believe we’re sister and brother

 

NIGHT not by choice

 

DAY i’ll never understand why you choose to suffer why you would rather be miserable than joyful

 

NIGHT you are so phony concerned about how things look instead of how they really feel

 

DAY i want success i dream of happiness i like being a winner and will fight to achieve my goals

 

NIGHT listen to you “fight to achieve your goals” you’re obnoxious selfish disgusting corrupt ***** all you know how to do is shine your radiant smile you’re a 1-trick-pony glaring at everything with your fiery rays

 

DAY and you’re so impossible mercurial moody waxing waning moon all your sick lunacy

 

NIGHT i love when it rains and clouds shut you out

 

DAY i hate you

 

 

conversation between summer and winter

 

SUMMER you’re gloomy bitter cold distant

 

WINTER i wish things were different

 

SUMMER different how

 

WINTER i know i’m difficult complicated demanding stuff dies around me freezes up goes away

 

SUMMER you could change

 

WINTER change huh (pause) what? become more like you with all your floods forest fires bugs crop failure drought scorching heat

 

SUMMER perhaps more like spring or autumn milder more agreeable

 

WINTER you don’t understand

 

SUMMER explain

 

WINTER i hurt inside hurt so bad i get numb in a fog then i don’t see feel think right do stupid stuff to upsetting to remember lose myself forget myself

 

SUMMER that sounds dangerous

 

WINTER it used to be worse

 

SUMMER sounds scary

 

WINTER i’ve been alone for many years it’s had an effect on me

 

SUMMER you’re more amendable now

 

WINTER i wish to die

 

SUMMER that’s not good

 

WINTER I have my regrets forgive me

 

SUMMER you’re sad

 

WINTER teach me help me show me love

 

SUMMER remember who you are take pride in yourself you’re winter hot chocolate crackling fireplace ice skating hockey snow skiing football scarves mittens beanies boots you’re fun

 

WINTER you really think so thank you

 

 

conversation between democrat and republican

 

DEMOCRAT you people got us into this mess

 

REPUBLICAN you people got us into this mess

 

DEMOCRAT what’s your hand doing in your pocket

 

REPUBLICAN what’s your hand doing in your pocket

 

DEMOCRAT who are you to point a finger

 

REPUBLICAN who are you to point a finger

 

 

conversation between life and death

 

LIFE it’s a gorgeous dawn full of potential

 

DEATH time is inconsequential

 

LIFE you’re heartless

 

DEATH i do what i have to

 

LIFE you’re a *******

 

DEATH some think i’m a relief

 

LIFE you’re a cruel son-of –a-bitch

 

DEATH let me ask you something do you believe in reincarnation destiny fate

 

LIFE **** you i hate you yes i believe in possibilities i don’t know what i believe i believe in hope

 

DEATH i apologize

 

LIFE this existence is difficult from learning how to talk walk to making smart decisions enduring the loss of loved ones suffering one’s own losses but going through all these changes is a valiant challenge attempting to achieve my goals is better than nothing at all

 

DEATH you honestly believe your mortal existence isn’t a futile pursuit and terrible waste of resources

 

LIFE yes (pause) nature is miraculous the creatures skies oceans mountains anthropology science love possibilities

 

DEATH you’re rather funny in a preposterous way not that it matters yet you’re entertaining

 

LIFE i don’t know i get these feelings like i was chosen like i am living in something much greater than myself words cannot explain

 

DEATH i wouldn’t know i’m a service i conclude (pause) that’s all (pause) you’re speaking about stuff beyond me

 

LIFE you mean you know nothing about god or the soul or spirituality nothing about dreams visions longings

 

DEATH i have no answers just terminal endings
