Poetry Time 54: Everface
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Dec. 10, 2023
Time.
It does not come in an even lap.
It comes wearing the everfacing mask
Dead-light searching, seeking that hope.
It is gone graving the everfading mote
Can you see the black fog before the red freeze?
They are neither free from the primordial bead.
Time… now, always and never ...
Belief is a mirror

In case you’re asking, no, I did not draw this image you see here. It’s one of many drawings I found on this website I just stumbled upon this morning called Drawception.com where from what I understand reading the site’s info section is about playing these ...
A movie playing a movie disguised as another movie
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 23, 2023
There's a specific type of movie “trick” where we'll see something that seems as though it's really happening. I mean, it seems like it's “really happening” within the movie.
For instance, it'll be some kind of elaborate action sequence, or horror sequence, or whatever, but ...
