FOR DONNY DARKO
1.
He was young, she was the crone.
In another universe
Things would be the opposite:
She the vivacious, tormented youth, a sapling.
He the withered willow.
However, while being born at different times
The nature of existence presumes
They all existed simultaneously:
Old, young, and all the endless permutations
Of yin and yang.
As the old man says: "you might emerge
Somewhere else in space, Somewhen else in time."
Do not dive down that rabbit hole,
Else you risk ending it all
For another you
That you were supposed to never know.
2.
Yes, you are god. Don't deny it.
She challenged you: "Sounds like a superhero's name."
You were right to challenge her assumptions
But were good enough to not judge her because of them.
Godhead is not normal, of course.
But what happens when the you from another place
Is forced to take your place here?
Even in your own shoes, you won't find it's a good fit.
3.
Your dream is over.
The only thing left to do
Is wake up and cry.
