BOX DREAMS

I AM IN A VAST DARK SPACE AND CANNOT SEE THE HORIZON I ONLY KNOW THERE IS GROUND FOR I FEEL IT UNDER MY FEET AS I WALK I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN HERE OR HOW FAR I HAVE WALKED BUT I MUST KEEP WALKING I MUST OR I WILL CERTAINLY SLIP BENEATH THE GRAINY SURFACE OF THIS DESERT

DUFF

I MUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD I HAVE KNOWLEDGE DUFF NEEDS AND WITHOUT IT WE ARE ALL DOOMED I MUST GET BACK TO MY COMPUTER SYSTEM AND SEND DUFF THE MESSAGE I CANNOT SLEEP I CANNOT CLOSE MY EYES FOR A MOMENT OTHERWISE I WILL FAIL AND IF I FAIL DUFF WILL FAIL AND THEN WE ALL WILL FAIL

I LICK MY LIPS FOR MOISTURE AND EAT ANOTHER HANDFUL OF THIS SURPRISINGLY SWEET SAND IT IS THE ONLY SUSTENANCE THAT EXISTS IN THIS PLANE I KEEP WALKING ONE DAY I WILL PREVAIL AND DUFF WILL SAY GOOD JOB RICHARD YOU DID IT WE’RE ALL SAVED AND THEN WE CAN EAT A CAKE THAT SAYS GOOD JOB RICHARD

I HAVE SUCH A HEADACHE I THINK SAND ISN’T VERY NUTRITIOUS I’LL HAVE TO CHECK THE FOOD PYRAMID INSCRIBED ON THAT SQUAWKING CACTUS ONCE I CAN CATCH IT
