Oh internet.
You are hollow,
And I desire something real.
Something physical, and
Meaningful.

Her name was Portland. And I didn't get the picture. She was a facet of a place, forever captured in my mind, but hardly able to be shared with others. In that moment that I saw her, with her striped fleece beanie, puffy vest, long sleeved tee shirt, non jean pants, relaxed on her bike looking off at the river, she was Portland. Not merely a person belonging to the place called Portland, but Portland herself was biking past me. And I didn't get the picture.
Is this a book, or did you write it? Because it is really good.
ReplyDeleteIt's strange to think that a person can be the embodiment of place, but at the same time, entirely plausible.
I agree, the internet is incredibly hollow.
How truly interesting, it is an interesting thought because I guess I can actually imagine her in my mind, the only thing is I keep wondering if that beanie is really a beanie or not, grin. But very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteOh and I totally agree with both of you, the internet is hollow. I have times I check email and FB and then sit there for a few seconds wondering why I even have the internet open, sad times, grin.

The internet is pretty hollow and full of nothing... but there are some things that can actually change and improve lives. But overall, it is a big waste of time. That's pretty good =) and slightly confusing... which is good =) well, more like cryptic =P Jesus loves you! =)
ReplyDeleteWonder if you will post the rest of this that you said you were going to expand on it for a class? I would like to either read it on here or get it from you to read.

What a cool thing to see. You could take it farther though, like a metaphor.
