Description: You can p.m. me, or leave a text comment. What am I talking about? If you get the right answer, somebody is totally going to win something. But, it's hard answer. ==== The Meaning of Life These bodies all lined up neatly in a row. Inanimate, unborn. All their potential hidden beneath prepackaged identities. And I, I rule over them. The god of their universe, they worship me in silent adoration. I take Moses, alone; separate from the crowd. He will learn what the heifer learns before the slaughter. It is his purpose, he will satisfy my lust. He will understand when I take him from his family, his friends, his natural place and order. I take them all. I am death with my sickle. And with my command, I strike light into the darkness. He quivers in front of me, squirming and screaming his danse macabre spinning and shouting, popping and crackling above. "Not here, not now! Not like this! Surely someone better." I pull him away, and he silences, staring up at me in horror and I at him in wonder. I tell him the story with my breath of life; my exhale of death. He tells me his story too spreading and yawning outward before me. Too quick. The group shuffles and flits. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I am the fates, his time is up. His last breath is small, not like his lively first. He gasps, and I end him with a punctuated mark. Only a body left behind. I have pity and manners, burying him in his glass coffin. All the world to worship the great marvel along with the countless others. I grope for the next messiah, forgetting the last ever came to me. -R.E. Whipple, 2006 |
