Hesitant,
Pausing for effect.
Spotlight following their every move.
Suspension of disbelief,
Allows one to warp time.
Stretching seconds into hours,
Or weeks into moments.
Been wrangling reality,
Since I was a pup –
Doomed to wander any other universe,
But this one.
Can you see the hollow void,
Behind my pupils?
The glaze across the eyes?
Proof I wander other existences.
Sometimes against my will.
A nightmare at a time.
This existence,
Becomes hollow.
Frail in comparison.
Darkest depressive episodes –
Pulling us towards entropy itself.
Frozen,
The other actors still.
Only one figure remains breathing.
White painted face –
Clown of a century ago.
A monologue for the ages!
Such poetry is a fell curse.
Ravaging those that succumb to it.
Pantomime in monochromatic,
Commedia del’arte crossed with Vaudeville.
I speak doom as prophecy,
Harbinger of armageddon.
Futures read in longsight –
Via the power of science.
Split my atoms,
I consent.
This performance,
Comes as easily for me –
As lying does for others.
Let me teach you what it is,
To be human.
Fatal flaws & all.
Curtains for you.
Theatre.
