In the middle of nothingness, eternal

void, a voice breaks the stillness,

"I am bored!" Suddenly, I realize

that "I" am; that the voice is mine.

I remember that I am eternal and

that I am all that there is. I am

alone and bored. Then I recall

"the Trick"; I can create "illusion".

And in the illusion I can project

myself into being many and forget

that I am "the only", and interact

with myself as if there were "others".

but in the end I know that all

I might create will have to die,

and I would again be alone.

Will it be worthwhile?
