The light eternal and the imperfect darkness, too far away you are
from
each other. There is no applicable scale, no place for you to coexist,
except a point in this criss-crossing, looping time that has to keep
the sum of boredom constant.
If truth be told, you shared a
token bond a while ago. It came and went with tokens. But players'
bonds are stronger hundredfold.
A game of go for one is a game
of solitaire for the other. That doesn't spoil the entertainment
whatsoever. A hand reaches out. Tap-tap. Lukewarm water through your
fingers. Tepid plastic under your fingers. You don't take turns. No one
will know until it is too late, no one will tell by looking at the
equally divided smile, a piece for each.
The death is not
yours. Yet again. Ever. You don't pretend to care about shadows that
might be cast when you look down on earth.
The death is not
yours. Yet again. Still. And when you hold a lightning in your hands,
you hardly raise your head to see your shadow dancing on the clouds.
The end won't justify the game, it'll be an inevitable tribute for the
process.
