This one time I fell out of a plane Or a spaceship I guess it's the same
I had a perspective so grand For where I might land And I could see, All possibility
The present, the future, the past The woes and the wins Time dilated, all dies cast Topography approaching, fast
For a short time; "I am flying!" A juxtaposition of mine For my imminent dying
I hit the ground Kersplat! With no one around To hear that
Was I a tree-- In it's third act? No spectators to see The impact
Did I fall? Or was this a dream? In absence of all This would seem
A quiet desolation Silent affirmation An invisible monument To what we mean
Okay, here is the last one from the storage bins... For now. I feel like when I had this posted years ago, it never really gained much attraction. The allegory and prose are decent enough and I personally appreciated the narrative (obviously).
The experiment was a playful exploration of existentialism (quelle surprise) While I do exit on sombre tones I felt like it was an effective juxtaposition I felt like it was an honest counter-point to the listed repartee. I'm not some non-sense blowing smoke up your ***.
As it is, this still stand as one my my personal favorite pieces. It'll never be perfect but, neither will I.
