An inkling of an idea


As pieces of the future fall together in our lap, making something from our past, we wonder what it’ll be. We stare at it in silence waiting for it to grow, waiting for it to tell us more, ignite something in us that we know we have forgotten. There is a sort electricity in each memory… we remember nothing, just a sense of how we felt back then. The puzzle is complete; it sits in our lap staring at us waiting for us to respond to its utterly obvious remark. But, there is nothing that we see; there is nothing that is screaming out at us in obvious reciprocation. We pick up the puzzle carefully fondling every piece, feeling too much but understanding nothing at all.
