The Placeholder

Hello, Big Mike.

Thanks for calling.

“What have I been doing in these last five years”, you ask?

“Lots”.

Currently, I am processing the role of seat fillers. Until your call, I believed I was someone’s seat filler. However, now you have me questioning, whether or not he was the seat filler? Perhaps, unknowingly, we both were seat fillers.

Big Mike, I have to place you, all of you, here. Right here, in this space. On the world wide web, which is expansive enough to hold all of your significance.

I don’t know what else to do with you. How to deal…with you.

How to deal…with you, again?

Where to deal with you?

When to deal with you?

If to deal with you?

Should I place you in your old rooms inside of my heart? Rooms, I have not dared to visit until recently. I peeked in and saw: Hope, Beauty, Progress, Support, Safety, Growth, Friendship and…AMBIGUITY.

Big Mike, I have to place you, all of you, here. Right here, in this space. On the world wide web (WWW), which is expansive enough to hold all of your significance.

I have to get you out of my head. There is no space in my head for ambiguity. I don’t know what else to do with you. How to deal…with you.

This is the only way I know how to deal with all of your significance, while I process my own place and roles held in your absence.

Until I gain clarity, the WWW is my placeholder for all things, Big Mike.
