O, the Frailty of Memory

4.5

[I can't write anything right now because I'm too sad. I just watched a Korean film called OldBoy and oh was it ever so twisted and inside out and sad and just the right amounts of all of it.]

I'm letting go
are you ready?
I want to fall
I want to land
why are you
still holding on?

I don't think
the fall
will
hurt.

    Poetry!

    Robby, go and watch "Miranda."

    This reminds me of "Inception."

    It's sad and pretty and dramatic and I really want to know what you were thinking when you wrote it.

    Fall, no.

    But landing...

    Of what are you letting go? What is holding on to you?

    It's kind of a thought from a scene in OldBoy.
    Basically, it's not my desire.

    And @Lyssa: my thought exactly.

    Oh, I understand it isn't you . . . But the speaker in the poem, I mean. It just changes the way I read it, is all, knowing what he's holding (what is holding him).

    Funny, isn't it, how falling is sometimes a good thing-- necessary, even?
