Overflights

A literary 'Presto Agitato' inspired by Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. An inner whirlwind where anxiety and ambition collide in a rhythm that refuses to be tamed.

Stop. Go. Think, think, think. Don't think. You're late. Why didn't you think about it on time? How? Why? No. Yes. No, no, and no. Get up, do something, don't wait for life to just happen on its own. Stop, maybe someone will do something for you. Be quiet. Stop. Vanish. Wise up. Think. Think. Think. Don't think. Live life now. Start the movie. No, don't start it, turn it off. Study, study, study. Some words mean the opposite of what they say. Understand. Go, go, go. Do not stand still. Let no words stop you. They are jealous of you. Realize, you moron, that is the only reason they insult you. They must belittle you because of what you have achieved, because of who you are. Stop. Calm down. Continue. Stand. No, now go back. Turn around. Close your eyes. Smell. Feel. Who told you that you are being solved? Do not give up. Let them never solve you. You have so many unknowns within you; do not be a task. Walk. Walk. Walk. Give. Do not take. Take. Show. Say. And be silent. Then say it again. But stop when you would go. And go when you would stop. Do not continue yourself. Continue them. Allow. Love. Do not think you are different from all the different ones; to someone, you are the same. Start to dance. Strike your heels against the floor. Try. It’s easy. Turn around, palm against palm, and there you are, dancing, exactly the way I play for you. Be a toy. Play. Stop crying. Sob. Do you know how to obey when the whole body is tense and when the resistance to obedience erupts from all sides? Try. Be. You will never know what some things look like unless you dare to feel them, see them, know them. Get to know. See. Be. Be you again. Be you a hundred times more. Be the real you for once. Be the one you are not for once. Start to dance even when you think you shouldn't. The body sways anyway, it dances, the leg jumps, the fingers are nervous. You follow the rhythm with your palms. The tone of your words is synchronized with the music in the background. Listen. Think. Reflect. And come on, let go of the nonsense... Surrender. Relax when you are tightening the most. Do not stop. Run. Escape. Strive. One day, something will stop you. Believe. Do not believe. Hope. Dream. Do not live in a delusion. Do not allow the delusion to live in you. Take flight, then land, and then fly over it all over again.
