Can't Go Away 4
I'm sitting on a stone. I try not to think. A philosopher passes by. A few minutes later he's back.
We're sitting on a stone. He tells me I should not go on with my journey back. He asks if my reasons are important ones. I say yes. Not only important but also complicated ones. For him my reasons are plain... So plain that I look for an inexistent complication. He says I can't understand plainness. I'm far beyond that. He draws my pain in the air. He says I'm too much for it. He offers me a frozen flowers garland. He urges me to walk ahead, towards myself. I show him the red string. He can't see it. I explain I couldn't see it before, but now I can. He can't see it. He says I'm not tied to anything. I am. Am I? He says our world is a lonely place, a parallel space full of doors and holes and watches and knowledge and monsters and words and talking ideas... No room for ties.
He has to go, but is sure we'll meet again. His drawing is still intact. But so are my feelings. And the red string.
I'm sitting on a stone. Appalled.

*It may sound stupid, but this song makes me cry. I don't know why, but I can't help it.
