Searching for something; unaware I was and what it was. Watching days pass like shifting shadows; viewing time in front, side, and back. Looking vaguely for long, being misled by false acuity. The links disconnected and then I saw, my severed paradigm. Would you talk to me, my dear paradigm? How I need you now, my dear paradigm. Your love stayed strong, even when I faltered. And now I see, that secret understanding between us, which you tried to make me see earlier. Oh how illusioned I was, my redemptive paradigm. By Emmanuel Johnson
