The poem describes a dying man whose mind, body, and soul briefly leave his being to travel to desolate, empty places untouched by humanity or other living things. In these places, nothing can truly live as they are devoid of even the most basic forms of life or value. The man realizes that for too long he searched externally for what he wanted most, not realizing he never needed to search at all.
Dying Man
- 1. For A Second A Dying Mans Regret For a second, my mind left my body - went to a place untouched by not man or woman, angel or demon, animal or machine. A place of pure desolation - a place where truly nothing can live, not man or woman, angel or demon, animal or machine. A dead sea, where not even the primordial soup exists. A proverbial blank slate. For a second, my body left my mind - went to a place touched by both man and woman, angel and demon, animal and machine. A place of pure desolation - a place where nothing can truly live. Man and woman, angel and demon, animal and machine. A dead city, where not even the value variety exists. A proverbial blank slate. by Uchigawa Shinka For a second, my soul left my being - went to a place unruled by not man or woman, but by angel and demon, not animal or machine. A place of pure desolation - a place nothing truly can live. Not man or woman, only angel and demon, not animal or machine. A dead plane, where not even the human life exists. A proverbial blank slate. For a second, I searched for what I wanted most, to find that I never... needed to search.
