Facebooking

A while back, I found a random message online. If I remember correctly, it had been created by a computer, which was trying to replicate a human being. It came out sounding like a very strange, mostly likely drunk, person. I liked the email a lot, and since it was addressed to a "Jordon", I decided to post it on the Facebook wall of a friend of mine with the same name. One of my close friends, Evan, then proceeded to post a comment that continued the same style of unhinged, pointless writing. We then made a thirty-something long conversation in that style. I have reproduced it below for your viewing enjoyment.



Adam: Hello Jordan!
They come of their own free will. Imagine my horror! I'll have some news for the boy. Golz said it could be. There are your pension papers. She must have alluded to her father.Again I fought for breath. We'll weather it yet between them. I'll tell her. That's why I pushed you into him. It will probably never be accounted for. There was little mistaking its meaning. Zane caught himself. There were some honest misguided people. Nothing could hurt him.His eyes were friendly too. Then came the geyser. I'll keep space up to midnight. It was a Fascist Patrol coming home. Reginald Bell began to act. The old man was right. You have no need to fear. But it did no good. What is the matter?What did you write? He could not afford to choose randomly. There were definite limits. Maybe it is ugly. We are all thy family. He opened the door and walked in. Cut it out and take it. What can they be? Zane's eye traveled around the room.

This is as it should be. Never say that it won't.

Without such, all is for nothing.

But in us, no one can let go of the moment.

Then, there must be one left; and who can say which way the compass aims?

In the end, our minds must err...

And to err is the undoing of all that we tried at first.

In this, we find our sole lesson. Thus, the circle closes.

At this news, tears came from my face. The day was collapsed, lost in my soul.

Could it be, that after all this, she was alone by my hand? Tense, afraid, and never more ready to let myself fall...

I picked a single rose, watching the petals rip and the movement cease.

We are but figures of our minds, sinking into the sands of time...

...with no grasp to know where our threads of reason birthed.

Tick tock! There never was such a place that could stop the widening of the gorge or seperation. Thee and thy, were the structures in my mind, the words! I longed for the moonlight to feel me again.

And so I was lost. And yet... The petals were won, one by one.

I could have sworn I knew the answer. But that was then. Was the doorway really open? The puzzle pieces were all I needed to see why I was the victim and the murder, roped and wrapped into one solitary shard.

...and then, I remembered her face, her touch...and when I remembered her name, why! Then, I felt entrapped, a statue in the sands of time. I remembered what I had always called her by, every night...

  1. Somehow I'm reminded in equal parts of http://www.mezzacotta.net/archive.php?date=random and http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/ ... and also "never mind the why and wherefore", but that's probably just me.
