P - Seoul VI: Through the Looking Glass | Tuesday, April 20, 2004

A/N: This was written on the plane, on the trip back from Tokyo to Singapore..(transit from Seoul). Inspired by the movie I’d just watched, “Shattered Glass”, about a reporter who had what I call “invisible friend syndrome”…it’s quite sad. And the acting was not bad – Hayden Christensen managed to portray so many facets of Stephen Glass…Number six in Korea series.

Seoul VI: Through the Looking Glass

The amazing things he sees
Have long since been ignored
By those who shake their heads,
Sometimes derisively,
Sometimes sadly, in pity.
For he sees, sees
What they do not.
Wondrous things, terrible
Premonitions, and deep
Down inside they fear him.
The fear gnaws at them,
All-consuming, though they
Do not realize it, thinking
That leaving him in his
Robin egg’s blue paradise
Will make the unease go away.

So he sits in his lucent
Ever-changing sanctuary.
All-seeing, and un-seeing,
Surrounded by rows
Six-deep of crowds that
Adore him.
Believe in him.
