14. UNFINISHED NOVEL

Each human being
is an unfinished novel
that starts at birth
and is left unfinished
at death.
When two human beings
get involved in an intimate relationship
they start
writing a new novel together.
When three novels
are being written and lived simultaneously
plots thicken.
Some novels are short, others long
Some are artistic, others philosophical
Some are boring, others exciting
Some are harmonious, others full of conflicts
There are times
when we all feel
we are incomplete chapters
of an unfinished novel
the novel
that human beings
have been writing for centuries
each one of us is introduced
as a new character
but we have to write, act and direct
our own roles
and get involved
in intimate relationships
to create suspense.
The irony is
we can't rehearse our roles
or re-write our scripts.
