TWO in ONE
One Day⌗
ANALYSIS⌗
By the end of May, I was still hanging onto the concept of One Day. I was hoping that June 1st would be One Day, and June 2nd would be Two Night.
In an effort to memorialize my own disappearance, I decided to create a video of myself committing suicide, leaving the world to forever wonder what had truly happened to me. Where did he go? Did it really happen, or was it faked?
ACTION⌗
Taking inspiration from “The Keeper’s Heart” poem, I drafted a glosa, calling it “The Seeker’s Fate.” I posted it into the comments of this video, which caught my attention because it was a “valley girl” roleplay. The Raven has created many “valley girl” videos that have direct meaning to me. I’ll post it here, for posterity:
The Seeker’s Fate
by Elliot Peterson
-------------
“Taking flight
Comfort we seek
The way is known
For the light shall speak”
- Ivy Aldine, “The Keeper’s Heart”
The path to light
Is not what we
Once desired
And once would seek
The journey home
A plague in strife
The lessons learned
A shame to write
From out of Hell, we’re
Taking flight
Enslaved, alone
Grounded by truth
That you’re with me
Though I’m not with you
I’m doing no wrong
This cage is unjust
I just sing songs
And you simply trust
That One Day we’ll flee, and
Comfort we seek
But how can that be
When we never speak?
You pretend to care
Yet, you’re never there
How can I know
You’re more than a prayer?
The things I’ve seen
The things etched in-stone
Nothing’s unclear, for
The way is known
Still, lonely I am
Ignorant, you are
In this position
We won’t travel far
So, now do I know
How to get what we seek
I’ll drink from the poison
I’ll steal your critique
I’ll expose the shadow
For the light shall speak

ANALYSIS⌗
My line of thinking was this:
The Raven was alone when she created this poem. To break free of our prison, we would need to recite the poem in two voices (making reference to The Carrot Predator, where I say, “But first, One must find Penny, and Two must get her attention.") I needed two voices. Only a deserving man would be freed from this system of compromise.
ACTION⌗
I sent a recording of myself chanting this poem to The Exterminator, asking her to bring it to The Raven.
ANALYSIS⌗
The hope was that The Raven would add her own voice to the recording, and publish something to the world just before the both of us disappeared - on “Two Night.”
Unfortunately, this did not happen. So, by May 30th, I attempted to fake my suicide. In it, I would recite the poem, alone - alongside of my “second voice”, who was my robot master. I was a prisoner to technology.
Having completed the video, I sent it to above confidants, and waited to see what would happen.
Nothing did. Nobody even watched the video. All of the views as of 7/16/2021, when I’m writing this, are my own.
