Dim Print… Left side to right side… “Where’s the error?” Right side to left… “What was right?” And the back and forth and back and forth and back and forth continues until the conversation fades into nothingness… A black void of pointless banter like a debate where there’s no winner Rhetoricals like a tennis ball or ping-pong match that never ends Background chatter… eyelids close… slumber… BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP snooze BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP snooze BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP Fine… I open my eyes and the dialog continues Slurping down the dark sweet brew hoping the bitterness will bring relief, but it does not. Substance whittled down like an old kook’s dead branch The shavings fall to the earth and rot into insignificance Such is life… Getting on with the day, with dreams that the work will now still the mind Clackity Clackity Clack on the keyboard… the rhythmic sound provides beats for MC Left side and Right side to lay their rhymes down Left side to right side… “Where’s the error?” Right side to left… “What was right?” And the back and forth and back and forth and back and forth continues Until the tête-à-tête makes its way onto the screen itself Frustrated, a third voice intervenes… Why is there a right? Why is there a wrong? Why do we continue this chat all day long? For the love of all that is free, let’s just agree to disagree. raise the roof in the veracity of the things that will be silence… still psyche… embark on a mindtrip blissfully
