from time to time
dimensions fly
into collages
spaceship fuselages
horse-drawn carriages
transported
foreign earths
where Amun-Ra
is still revered
in purple skies
metallic spires
glide by
we slide
past love
past hate
past fear
to get
from there
to here
Actually, it's more like fan poetry, if anything. I found a rough draft of this poem among some papers I was cleaning out, revised it a little, and decided it would be good to upload here. It's based off of vague memories of this sci-fi TV show from the 90's called Sliders. Basically, there were a bunch of people sliding through different dimensions, trying to get back to the Earth they once knew. In one episode, there was one Earth that was very similar to ours, but instead of having a blue sky, it had a purple one. And I'm certain there was an episode that involved ancient Egyptian gods. But it's not like it refers to particular characters or situations they would get into, so it's not fan fiction in that sense. Yet the range of options in the poetry category don't quite encompass something like this. :(

this has a very sci-fi/cyberpunk vibe to it that I dig.

great rhythmic language too.
