Rationale


The blank page stares back.
Methos taps the screen.
From rock to mud to swamp plant threads,
tanned hide, tree pulp and now to this:
this record, his thoughts,
an effort to transcribe time:
his life, or at least, the part of it
amenable to words.

He pauses, takes one of those rare draughts
of memory, letting it swirl around him
in all its emblems and contrasts.
Why journal? Why notate his long life,
with its serial editions and crime?
What is this long, punctuated love letter
to the narrative?

It's not for money, and it's not for fame.
Methos laughs, remembering MacLeod's face.
(Methos knows he can be a dick sometimes.)
"It's because I like it." He laughs again,
satisfied by the simplicity of the answer.

That settled, he turns back to the keyboard
and composes his tweet.

And tags it: #olderthandirt, #whowatchesthewatchers,
#becauseilikeit,and his favorite, #andimgoodatit

Hahahahahaha! I love it. Why does Methos journal, and would he blog or tweet?

Okay, has anyone started a Twitter account for Methos?

funny you should mention that. *grin*
I actually started one. And... an Adam Pierson one.... and Killa and Rhi both started other HL character ones. I'll post the info tonight or tomorrow.

::laughing:: Oh, man. I still love this poem, particularly the turn from the thoughtful musing to the Twitter tags!

thanks! hey (see note above yours), are you able to post the twitter names you, me, and Killa came up with, so people can follow?

If not, I'll do mine when I get home. Maybe there's a way to do it through the comm, though? *grin*

Yeah, I can, but we haven't had much activity? ::amused:: And I suspect Killa'd be okay with it, but I don't know for sure?
