Tippitt" Subject: "To Gregor" (a poem) Just promise you won't laugh at me...except in the parts where you're supposed to. ;) This dream actually happened. I was quite depressed when I had it. Guess it's clear now which Immie I relate the most to, eh? --Jason ***************************************************************************= *** "Roses are red Jason R. Tippitt Violets are blue JTippitt@Utm.Edu Everything's possible http://www.utm.edu/~jtippitt/jason.shtml Nothing is true." --Alan Moore, V FOR VENDETTA ***************************************************************************= *** "To Gregor" I dreamt I was you, My favorite guest star on my favorite show I having had your camera hanging at my neck. I dreamt I got hit by a truck, And as I lay in broken ruins I said to myself, "It's finally over, And not even by my own hand." Guess I don't have to tell you How mad it made me to feel All those bones and organs mending; I wanted to embrace oblivion, Not face the gathered crowd, And besides, it rather hurt. Still, on my TV I saw you redeemed; Does that mean there's hope for me, Here, stuck in this rut, A way out of this mire I live in? Your name may come from Kafka, But I feel like the insect here. Maybe all I need is a Duncan And a Linda Plager to see me through, To show me I could be worse off, Cold steel to my throat to make me feel again. I could end up on a show with female cops, too. =========================================================================
