child of the other side




@ Ailey; It's very sad, but losing friends always is. I think it's a very good poem about the subject, especially the end, it's very touching and beautifully formed. (:
@ Plottie; I find it hard to understand as a whole something, some parts I do understand, some I can only guess. But hey, that's poetry. But you are the abstracted one for sure! Anyway, I like the poem, the first few stanzas more than the rest. And I like the title (I'm into simple titles lately.)


Just written this afternoon, based upon what I know of the book "Brave new world" and my own ideas about a future where everyone is the same. 


Vanished thoughts

We stood in line, straight and right
My neighbour was my reflection
My wife, if possible a fright
For a look so divine, could be found next door
With just a little less affection 

A dog barked down, at the streets
At night, or otherwise at day
I don’t understand what time reads
But I know nothing for sure anymore, you know?
Only the pills that bring dismay 

The wife comes in, to enter, knocking
Like a programme on the screen
I guess one episode less is shocking
For we were used to look, to follow through
Everything we have ever seen
