wise: to read about apocalypse predictions thru time
how many there are thru time
wise to learn more about y2k, about 2012, about america's pluto return
keep adding, adding, adding frames
learn learn learn learn
& you will come to find
stories are simply that
when a movie ends & credits roll
when the last page of a book is finished
do you still exist?
do you not get up & leave the theater?
do you not put the book on your bedside table & turn out the light & tomorrow is the same as every other day?
stories can tell us about ourselves
they can illuminate something within us
we can correspond with the right ones,
ones meant for us, that touch us
they can move us, they can inspire us, we can see with different eyes
however, being touched? (very gently meant & intended)
is just that
being touched
being met, however ephemerally, for whatever duration, a book length, a film length, the time you stood in front of a painting
