The Young: They’re only here at night and they call us in and if we don’t come, then they will drag us. Their cries ring out into the dusk and each call is special to one of us. We can’t seem to find our grip, even though we reach out, our hands held high and if our hands aren’t taken we must reach out even further, even further. They build their own cities much bigger than ours and their calls are special to all of us. And even though they dump their lives they don’t own a piece of the splendid cities.

The Young (Part Two): Building Cities on loose soil they take their time. Running up to the higher ground they call the flood. Crawl They are taking all their things and moving on. As they leave they turn and watch The buildings fall. Crawl It is bought? It is made.

The Old: The door locks behind him and the boredom sets in. So he sits and watches the world outside. And all the kids flooding their cities remind him of when he was out there and even though he knows they hate it, He only wants to do it again. He leaves traces far behind him and he could save the cites. But he’s stuck here traversing circles as they make the same mistakes. If only he could break the barrier it would all turn out as he planned. But their eyes are full of anger directed at a small target. Turn away. Sometimes they come to him and they pretend to hear. When he turns to look out the cracked window.

The Middle Aged: When you’re feeling better. We’re still waiting here. Now we see your point. You can’t be alone. It was the most resistant, but even it changed. Even though you’re tired there’s still a lot to do. Better write that down. You can’t bring it back. A lot has changed. Take what you need. It was the most resistant, but even it changed. Time to come back in. We’ll tell you everything.

about

Every time it rains the young must gather at the highest hill and watch as their cities and castles are washed away by the flood. They lift up their skinny arms and mourn loudly. The hot rain comes down in torrents and mixes with the sweat of their wasted toil.

The rain always lasts for ten minutes. Afterwards the young walk slowly down the hill and into the brown water, where they get down on their hands and knees and feel for traces of their magnificent cities.
