Tale off

I began telling the story, but
it soon became clear that I should write
it down. The pencil did at first, then a pen,
but things grew quickly from there, the typewriter
lasted only a day as the story grew in its dimensions.
Two was do-able, three was getting rather much, I booted up
the pc as it grew into the fourth. Now the shape of it is unregonisable,
extending in all directions. I have recently made the world's largest quantum
computer, just to hold the burgeoning story. I wonder if I should have started it at all,
it seems well beyond my control now and it is now bigger in size than the real world that we inhabit
now. It is infinite in scope, contains wisdom beyond telling; immeasurable secrets. I can't imagine what would happen if anyone were to read it.

all the love

Two Suns


Open to wind blowing over distant sands,
dome to the left and spire to the right.
The boy exits -- climbs out of the buried door,
swaggers on to the ridge just ahead.
Close up to his face, young and handsome,
with eyes that match the darkening horizon.
Two suns ahead, the lower sunset orange,
the higher white hot. The boy bows,
looks up again. Cue epiphany. The wind
combs his hair. Fade to home, interior...
