Paroles
You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
If this predicament seems particularly cruel,
consider whose fault it could be:
not a torch or a match in your inventory.
It got narrated at you in the second person.
Every time you booted up, it seemed you got another version
of your life told to you by a status line blinking,
the impossible people you could be without thinking
yourself insane of personality problems,
with a mop on a drop ship or trying to stab a goblin.
That don’t play in public life. You get arrested,
psychoactive medication daily in your big intestine
and attesting that the voices in your head
said the dwarf shot first, embedded arrow then you bled.
But doctors with needles posit repeatedly
that you knocked down that midget in the park unneededly.
This has seeded the idea that you should
never venture from the house, never get misunderstood
by the non-player characters inhabiting Earth,
none of whom are too concerned about Nord & Bert,
not one of whom ever aimed a fish around the room,
trying to get it in the ear canal because doom
beset the last planet they were on, or near
the verge of a set of poetics they wouldn’t hear.
Never peered at the clues with invisible ink.
No SM goddesses ever gave them pause to think.
Never piloted six robots, each distinct.
Don’t matter how many 2-liters they drink,
they’re not gonna follow what you’re saying at all.
They impugn and appall in the scope of their gall,
as you hide in your room in disgust with the lights turned out.
Turn ‘em on in a turn. Leave ‘em off for now.
You read a pamphlet from a mailbox that urges low cunning,
offers cursor and prompt: type >run and you’re running,
and parses what you tell it, pronouns intact,
abbreviations if you need ‘em (better keep it gramat.).
Better punctuate your sentences and never redact
the name of anything ambiguous. You’re about to get asked,
do you mean the red one, the round one, the crooked, or the blue?
Better keep that in your pocket, don’t know yet what it could do.
Could be the spray for the grue; you’re gonna need it if it is —
a situation that reloads, restarts, or quits.
Wonder how many points out of how many points
you’ve got to get before you’re done. Endeavor then to rejoice,
when you wish more ardently, identities shed,
for continuance, the rhyme forever voyaging. Fled
from all lights and colors, from all smells and sound:
just the lyric on the monochrome display and you’re proud
to make another verse appear by solving riddles.
If you didn’t have to sleep, you know you’d never seek acquittal.
You’d be ever in the middle and the midst of quest.
If it weren’t for >don the gown. you’d never get dressed.
In your underwear typing, just like Front,
keyboard attached up to my fingers — wrists bear the brunt —
as I seek to do stunts simply through their descriptions.
I think I went once to some sands that were Egyptian.
And I retain plane tickets, snapshots, receipts,
yet I stand unconvinced that this has happened to me.
I wouldn’t want to misremember or get confused.
Recall of crawling towards a pyramid appearing over dunes.
Recall of entering the thing and descending stairs.
Does it descend from there, adventure to nightmare?
Did I battle a snake? Was the treasure intact?
Or did the TRS-80 in my brain get hacked?
Thanks, Grampa, for buying it. Now my life’s ruined.
Twenty-two years later, head’s infested: got the grue in.
PLUGHing, XYZZYfying, trying to escape,
but I can’t ‘cause I’m up and around and awake.
Traduction des paroles
voulez-vous dire le rouge, le rond, le tordu, ou le bleu?
Mieux vaut garder cela dans votre poche, je ne sais pas encore ce qu'il pourrait faire.
Peut-être le spray pour la grue; vous en aurez besoin si c'est le cas —
une situation qui recharge, redémarre ou se ferme.
Me demande combien de points le nombre de points
vous avez obtenu d'obtenir avant que vous avez terminé. Essayez alors de vous réjouir,
lorsque vous le souhaitez plus ardemment, les identités perdent,
pour la continuation, la rime voyager pour toujours. Fuir
de toutes les lumières et couleurs, de toutes les odeurs et le son:
juste les paroles sur l'écran monochrome et vous êtes fier
pour faire apparaître un autre verset en résolvant des énigmes.
Si tu n'avais pas à dormir, tu sais que tu ne demanderais jamais l'acquittement.
Vous seriez jamais au milieu et au milieu de la quête.
Si ce n'était pas pour > enfiler la robe. vous n'auriez jamais habillé.
Dans vos sous-vêtements en tapant, tout comme devant,
clavier attaché à mes doigts-poignets portent le poids —
comme je cherche à faire des cascades simplement à travers leurs descriptions.
Je pense que je suis allé une fois à des sables qui étaient égyptiens.
Et je conserve les billets d'avion, les instantanés, les reçus,
pourtant, je ne suis pas convaincu que cela m'est arrivé.
Je ne voudrais pas me tromper ou être confus.
Rappel de ramper vers une pyramide apparaissant au-dessus des dunes.
Rappel d'entrer dans la chose et de descendre les escaliers.
Est-ce qu'il descend de là, aventure au cauchemar?
Ai-je bataille un serpent? Le trésor était-il intact?
Ou le TRS-80 dans mon cerveau a-t-il été piraté?
Merci, grand-père, pour l'acheter. Maintenant, ma vie est foutu.
Vingt-deux ans plus tard, la tête est infestée.
PLUGHing, XYZZYfying, essayant d'échapper,
mais je ne peux pas parce que je suis debout et éveillé.
