Nothing Matters, Truly

Nothing Matters, Truly

Nothing matters.I doubt I will get to live to a hundred.Nothing matters.I will be forgotten a hundred years after that.Nothing matters.I will rot away and my name will be forgotten.Nothing matters.I am only one of a hundred billions who have died.That doesn’t matter; nothing matters. No one will remember “Rose,”Who was born in the 2000s,Who hated herself,And hated the world around her.Rose will be a single name among so many others.Roses wither too.I am not alone with that name.That doesn’t matter; nothing matters. I walk in the cemetery.Truly a beautiful place, is it not?Nothing is calmer than the dead.I envy…

Scary Things—Do Them

Scary Things—Do Them

Scary Things, like they imply, are fucking (very, for those who don’t like swearing) terrifying. Recently, I’ve realized that I have done and I have been doing some Scary Things. With that realization came the next one: that Scary Things aren’t that scary, in reality. Now maybe it’s time for me to precise what I mean by “Scary Things”.

And yet he ran, leaving friend and foe behind.Wings,…

Improvisational Theatre

Improvisational Theatre

Contrary to popular belief, improvisation wasn't created in 1977 by the “Ligue nationale d’improvisation” (LNI). In fact, this form of theatre has existed for so many years that it's impossible to pinpoint its exact origin. We can see it present at various points in history, all over the world. The LNI is considered the mother of all leagues, at least in Quebec. It was the first, and its impact was so significant that public interest and demand led to the creation of numerous leagues throughout the province. Even though the true origins of this art form are practically untraceable, its…

Forget-me-not

Forget-me-not

i'm being devoured by every memory i've ever hadlike Alice in Wonderland drowning the room out.a strange stillness. if you incline your ear toward me,you could hear the tranquillity of the flow.colours fading into waves,iridescent blue snapsuntil saltwater anesthetizes my lungs. i effortlessly swallow myself down.only eyes talkingit's silence. (they whisper too softly for anyone to hear)
