inherited demons
would that she’d slain
them… I’d not have to
continue her work…
I’d see colors as
they are meant to
be seen…
rather than vibrant assaults.
I’d breathe lightly
rather than engulfing
enough air to last…
should my soul be
stripped from this world
and sent to a
desolate hell.
although perhaps I’d
find her there waiting
for me… and we
could have tea like
we used to…
... before the demons return.
I’ve read a number of Douglas Coupland’s novels, and must say that to date, have never been disappointed. I don’t know if it’s his style, his delivery or just the subject matter that keeps me turning the pages. He is a very powerful writer, in that he can so completely encapsulate a time and place.
jPod is no different. This time around, he writes about a group of 20 somethings working at a game development company, having to deal with their lives, their pasts, their careers and the fact that their boss has decided he wants a turtle in their new skateboarding game (among other bizarre plot twists).
