Just one click
of your fingers or the camera.
Just one tick
in the box on the form.
Just one tock of the clock
in the sky.
Just one blink of your eye.
Then you wonder
at which precise moment in the night
did your spirit take flight
into the film Chacun cherce son chat
where everyone searches for their cat;
and do they ever come back?
They must find themselves, not just the cat.
Otherwise.
The word spins like a compass in the skies.
When it lands you open your eyes.
Analyse
Rationalise
Compartmentalise
Write a treatise
Summarise
Eulogise
Memorise
Categorise.
Don't criticise.
Let no lies
past your eyes.
Pasteurise
the merchandise.
Analyse.
Are others wise,
can they devise
a system to outwit the lies?
Alpha beta gamma delta
she took him on a helter-skelter.
The rain began to pelt and pelt her.
They ran towards the shelter.
The storm was a belter.
The heat of love made them swelter.
His heart began to melt and melt her.
Alpha beta gamma delta.
The strange syntax of announcements fills the station. Shall there be a train to match your destination?
I'm going on the rails to the town of Otherwise.
I've heard it said the people there are in disguise.
They are not so much themselves.
When they hear the bells
every sister, brother, mother turns into another.
The laws are different there.
You are not allowed to stay the same,
you have to disappear.
Otherwise.
Your development will be arrested.
Your inner self absorbed, digested
by uber-metamorphosis.
There is an app to call for this.
You must update yourself,
by chance or by stealth.
Download peace, love, health and wealth.
Just one click.
Just one tick.
Just one tock.
Just one blink of sky, to change, to die, to live again, to cry, to smile, to laugh, to fly.
Other worlds spinning in your eye.
