AN ALTERNATE REALITY

In an alternate reality
we are at each other's throats
literally
tenaciously
tenderly clawing each others eyes out with our tongues
as we try to eradicate any evidence of the other's existence.

In an alternate reality
we fight and vie for supremacy over the others' heart, mind, hand and soul
in toto
or pieces, as necessary.
Our combat is extreme, and exciting,
and embattled eternally, as everybody around us asks us to just GET OVER IT.

In an alternate reality, we are truly one
as our body intertwine
struggling
sweating
searching to destroy
no stooges between us
to stop us from seeking an ending,
an ending absolute and irrevocable,
an ending.
An ending.

In an alternate reality
called tomorrow.
