May. 13th, 2004 02:37 pmA Sam Poem:
Sam's world and welcome to it
Father figures, manly lovers:
Sam's world, iridescent bubble
Floating nondescript images of
A blonde hair floating in the sink
Of Sam, bent over a laptop, trying
To compress galaxies of knowledge
Into a 40 gig hard-drive
And for everyone who wanted to know why Hammond was doing it...
Set in the "Strangest Thing" universe:
George Hammond knows he made a mistake. He knows it when innocent Kayla asks him if Major Sam will be there and his daughter-in-law asks, "Who's that." He knows it every morning that his bed is empty and he wishes it weren't. he knows it when Major Carter's lab is empty and he is disappointed.
He's angry at Colonel O'Neill. He knows he shouldn't be, should not want to go out into the field, to sleep and fight and die by her side. He wants to watch her with a machine gun grasped in tender hands, the shift her of shoulders, the precise stride of her marching. Hammond knows that Carter doesn't love him the way he loves her, that her dreams involve home and family and children, the life both of them had twenty years ago when Sam was a teenager and Lydia and Jacob and Alice got together for military balls and holidays. He's known Sam since she was twelve and rode her bike everywhere. She'd viciously ripped the pink streamers from the handlebar then convinced her father to show her how to oil the gears and pump air into the tires.
