lyrics

‘VR REVERIE (DELAY ON A CLOUD)’

...painted brightly and intricately, each border being its own complementary or contrasting colour. The palette represented beautifully, but the colours themselves...I wanted to change them.

I focused in on the trees, reached out for the focus wheel above my eyes, on this helmet...I fiddled until I could count the individual leaves on the maples and the oaks. The birds and squirrels I added to the environment had randomized nicely, still clustered in groups but integrating and diffusing from their origin points.

Off the balcony through the trees I could see my old elementary school in its constant state of construction...

Then I saw her, toward old Bloor Street and High Park, staring back at me. . .just standing, and perhaps glitching out on some sort of faulty code. Did I miss something? How did I create this? She was staring up at me transfixed. And then she smiled. And then there was a wave.

She waved at me.

She was wearing clothes I had never even seen before. She didn't run, she didn't come any closer, she looked fixed like a non-playable character. But in a good program, even NPCs had something to say.

I instinctively went in to zoom, but the focus wheel was maxed. I leaned over the edge as far as I could and I took a screen capture of her face.

Then I slipped out the front door to make a head for the street but I couldn't find her down there.

I never saw her again.
