The Next Level

The next level,

as if there was a destination

somewhere we could finally

get to. 

Life is like Mario: when you win,

there's a little dance at the end,

and then

reboot.

The seductive/terrifying myth of

linear time...

that life stops at some point.

Did it ever even start, or, isn't life 

itself a dream?

When you finally get somewhere,

you realize you were there all along.
