.
Tell me
what to ask from today
and I will seek its ear
and plead my case.
Tell me
what it is you want
and I will find it
and bring it to you.
.
Until you speak it,
you haven’t thought it.
Before your breath
catches in your chest,
you have not felt it.
Before, you thought
that you understood
what you wanted,
but now you see
you don’t even know
who you are.
.
Are you really here?
Or did you dream yourself
from some other state?
Is this the beginning,
prosthelytized “Alpha”,
or is this the end?
“Omega”, they named
the never escapable state
where we all go;
The Singularity.
.
Are you a piece
of shattered reality?
Did you cut yourself free
of your bonds?
No,
I don’t think so,
because if that were true,
you would know
if you were a dream,
or a premonition.
.
What do you want?
Such a hard question.
The answer is not a word,
a noun, a verb, a sound.
Nor is it a feeling,
because feelings
are responses to stimuli.
Results of things.
not things in and of themselves.
.
Anything at all,
it can be yours.
Just tell me
who you are,
and what you want.
It isn’t so hard,
is it?
It isn’t impossible.
Could it be
that you don’t know
who you are
at all?
