Vladimir Mayakovsky, from a letter featured in “Love in the Heart of Everything; The Correspondence between Vladimir Mayakovsky & Lili Brik, 1915-1930.”
Seeing anybody talk about TWEWY is always great cause it’s never just “Oh it was a great game, loved the plot and characters.” Oh no. It’s always stuff like “Dear god almighty himself could not have conceived of a game like this everything is so tied in. Every one of the mechanics ties the story, the characters develop perfectly, the game is artistic, THIS GAME CHANGED ME AND MY CONCEPT OF REALITY ITSELF!!!!” and you get people in the comments saying the same thing.

So pain is mnemonic—
A singsong we say to save something standardized—
And freedom sells at market price.
Is it any wonder to be stuck between
A storybook monster and
A hundred thousand acts of love?
That’s the code of conduct.
It matters.
What is it?
(An expression of concern.)
You can tell, at least, it isn’t mundane.
We know that the mundane matters.
It matters at market price, in manners, in tomorrow and tomorrow
and tomorrow;
To spend a day is to spend a life,
we knew that.
But stop!
Where’s the rest of it?
It matters.
It:
Not how we spend our lives, but why.
The rest of it, through equations and peskiness,
through lunchtime and spreadsheets full of
something so sacred as names,
where’s the rest of it?
It’s in art, for one.
It’s in the storybook monster and the hundred thousand acts of love,
for the first made the second,
that’s what the art says.
So we stick between them,
subdued,
through the mundane manners at market price.
It doesn’t separate itself,
“What is right” in my mind while googling the slow spreadsheets,
it’s just a way to understand,
dialectic dialogue between it all.
So It is right. That’s one.
Here’s my thesis: It matters.
Define your terms, then explain your reasoning.
It: right, art, monster, a hundred thousand acts of love.
Matters: a value judgment.
Is it any wonder that philosophers go mad with it?
The wrong question and a hundred thousand answers,
is it any wonder that you’d climb past the fog,
again and again and
tomorrow and tomorrow,
climb that cliff in a biting breathless pace
for any answer that fits for any way to explain
It matters.
Is it any wonder?
Right, wrong, art, monster, a hundred thousand ways to say:
Anything more than this mnemonic market price.
there stands an angel at the gate
it's knocking on my door
it's looking at me like it knows
i'd never prayed before
.
there sits an angel at my table
eating all my words
the sun is setting through the wings
of countless silent birds
.
there sleeps an angel in my bed
and i must drive it out
for if i let it stay too long
this house comes burning down
.
standing on the edge of heaven
asking if i should jump off
i'm looking at the devil but
i'm seeing shards of god
.
there stands an angel at the gate
it's knocking on my bones
i'd answer if i could, you see
there's simply no one home
