six minutes left

cyber cafe life
headphones fading in and out of functionality

now five

and what did I want to say?
something about something else
entirely

in speaking in third person
about something
with someone
with whom the topic is actually first person
with whom the topic is actually yours
one feels the weight of abstraction
the inherent fear -

three minutes -

of revealing that behind the third person
generalisations
there is a first person
an intimate person
a relationship
something very, very particular indeed

if we could escape our social moulding!

one minute

even in love we are tormented by fear
and if truth is only a dream
abstraction brings it closer
