More surrealisms.

(Prompt: The future isn't what we remember.)
The future isn't what we remember, and the past isn't what we know. I don't know when it started changing but it did, and all of a sudden it seemed like everything was turned upside-down and inside-out and the world was shaken up and put back together in the wrong order, a jigsaw puzzle with half of its pieces missing. And yet we still managed to make sense of it in some odd way; but did we change, or did we stay the same?

(Prompt: But who keeps track of the world?)
But who keeps track of the world? Entities we can't even put a name or a face to, entities that have nothing to do with us but influence our lives anyway, and we seem to take it all for granted. I ask you this, then; what would we do if these entities went away? If they never existed at all? Do you think we could go about our everyday lives if the force behind them just wasn't there? Or is it just that the entities have always been gone, and some of us are just too blind to realize they've never been there?

(Prompt: We superimpose.)
We superimpose. This over that, one person over another, and society tells us this is the normal thing to do. But what happens when you stop? When you're not superimposing any longer, and seeing things for what they really should be? It takes a strong mind to face that reality, and maybe that's the reason why we all just hide behind those facades.

(Prompt: So you'd better keep them near.)
So you'd better keep them near, never let them stray. No one knows what would happen if you let them go. Keeping them close by, where your eyes and your ears and your fingers are never far away, is the best way to make sure everything stays the same. They change, so you'd better keep them near.

(Prompt: We never wanted to be scared.)
We never wanted to be scared, but I suppose it was inevitable. In this world of ours, nothing is certain, nothing is truly safe, and it's those little things that we think we know that can be the most frightening. So we were scared, and we came together and fought that fear with numbers and maybe that did make us a little less scared. I know it eased my mind. Did it ease yours, too?
