in this aquarium that sits on my desktop. Strange, colorfull wraiths, to poke and prod. See what will they say, what will they do? No, no, don't be angry, what should I think, I log in to this computer generated world in a box on my desk. Are you real? or just some bits, constructs, in this elaborate game world?
Colorfull, flitting, dancing, clashing, thoughts in my mind endlessly chasing eachother, till one hesitates and I fleetingly recognize it. Do I detect a pulse, an ebb and flow way down low in this world? perhaps some unconscious purpose to it all?
Sitting here overlong, I have fallen in, have forgotten a world beyond these glass walls. Someone shake me, wake me, the colors whirling, twirling in my mind. Shapes hazy and vast in the mist, haunting me till give them shape, color, and recognition in my world.
Are you real? Or just fish in a box on my desk?
Some stray thoughts, was wondering if anyone else ever gets that same detatched feeling while wandering the forums? Any stray thoughts of your own? I'm not crazy!
