The Motions

[rowyn]

I keep going through the motions. What would he say?

I found that written in a yellow paper notebook I brought with me on the bus this morning. It has no context around it. It came after the first draft of "She's Having a Baby", which I wrote in June, so I set it down recently. But I don't know what I meant. What motions? Who is he?

It sounds like the opening for a story. About a woman whose husband has died, perhaps. But that's a little too prosaic, isn't it?

And I meant something else when I wrote it, I'm sure.

But I don't know what.

Considering the context, I think of an AI locked into a logic loop and pondering how to get out of it-- what would her creator say?
