Words on your monitor screen

isn't there somewhere you should go? Isn't there someone you should be?
How far is away?
soon is now?
high is up?
low is down?

How away do you want me to be?

How much is enough?
And I'd die to live
and live to die
and fight for peace
and riot for quiet
Wake to sleep, Sleep to dream.


How does it feel to feel?




Here I am and there you stand,
together at last but still far,
so close to me even yet apart.


Where is there?
How near is here?


Yes, no
maybe so.
Always never,
Forever and ever.


Why is there a why?
Contemplating the existence of an existence,
the creation of a creation


Remembering to Forget to forget to Remember.

How lost is gone?
How far is away?
What could I have done to be able to stay?

How dead is alive?
Which am I?

I was in an agony that,
perhaps if you knew me,
you might find petty.

But was I even there? Was I even anywhere at all?
