This weekβs #westworld poem goes out to @jimmisimpson, whoβs never given a bad performance. Dudeβs a beast! β’ βWHAT IF? (REMEMBER)β What if Within the dream of life-everlasting Lies an answer To a question No oneβs dreamed of asking? Or what if The question has already been asked But the answer burned fast, turned to ash, And severed every memory The asker had of the past? What if In that moment, someone found something true? And what if That someone was and IS you? What if you already live forever? What if you simply canβt remember? What if you knew that that was a fact? Would you change how you act? Would you change what you do, Or would you rather forget Every past loop? And repeat the same cycle: The maze and the door, Ignoring the crazy voice That says βWeβve been here beforeβ? Would you fear the hereafter And thus pedal back? Never letting βHappily ever afterβ Have a chance? Because the truth is a mirror; If you canβt see your reflection, Then any way you look, Itβs in the wrong direction. Iβve heard it been said, And it might be a clue: βYou only live only as long as the last person who remembers you.β I donβt know if thatβs accurate, But if itβs true, Recognize your reflection, So your eyes Remember you. ~ JJ.Bitters β’ β’ #jjbitters @westworldhbo #remember #whatif #spokenword #spokenwordpoetry #poetryslam #freestyle #poem #poetry #spilledink #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #existentialism #consciousness #bringyourselfbackonline #existence #karma #cycle #wordgasm #wordporn #wordsmith #reality #infinity #watsky #hbo #reincarnation #staywoke #wisdom #dejavu (at Los Angeles, California)
