Interstellar - forgotten perspective
I thought It unfair that we only get to see Matthew McConaughey's perspective in the black hole.
Feeling my body stretching to the maximal
Will I survive this?
Such forces my body cannot dismiss
Will I work when my insides are fractional?
My end of cycle was not yet near, I calculated
However, this outcome I seem to have miscalculated
I have no fear of the end, unlike others
But I did hope I could continue to explore and discover
Not end in this dark abyss with one other
Not sure a solution this craziness will usher
-
Until now it’s all been darkness
Nothing in the surrounding, and no harness
Just floating in space with no purpose
Just why the hell did I offer my service
I was content in the ship, never nervous
But now I am heading toward the unknown
Will this really work?
Wait…
I am sensing something…
What is this thing?
Layers upon layers of the same thing
I look closer and realise it’s not exactly the same thing
It’s the same place in different times
Almost like a movie playing out from film lines
My senses picking up gravity within these confines
Readings that are usually impossible to find
Outside of this black hole as nothing escapes
The tremendous gravity that is in place.
I must find him, my purpose in this endeavour is complete
I must share my findings, it’s a magnificent feat
To come upon such creation in the abyss
By beings beyond comprehension, beings of myth
We might be able to escape this hell
But nothing comes to mind, it’s no time to dwell
“Cooper, are you there?”
“Is that you, TARS?”

Author's note: Interstellar is one of my favourite movies of all time, if not my favourite. I just wanted to illuminate TARS's perspective when he went into that black hole, because we should never forget that he was instrumental in the final outcome of the movie, and he should be given credit!

Oooo, this was so cool and intriguing! I loved your poem!
I've never seen this movie but it's up my alley so I'm adding it to the list. Well done.
Interstellar is one of my favorite movies, too. Yes, it would have been interesting to share TARS' perspective!
Great job
