Painted by Wong Kar Wai

a painting called 2046

'Nothing ever changes in 2046'


'when people had secrets they didn't want to share
they'd climb a mountain,they'd find a tree
and carve a hole in it
And whisper the secret into the hole
Then cover it over with mud
That way. nobody else would ever discover it'


'Most of her affairs ended badly
But she didn't mind sad endings
No matter what happened...
...at least she was always the leading lady'


'Where does all that fun get you?
If you find the right person...
...why waste time on the others?'

'If I find the right person!
A man Like me has nothing much...except free time'


Love is all a matter of timing
It's no good meeting the right person...
...too soon or too Late
...my story might have had a
very different ending

'I'm sleeping here tonight'

'An overnight stay is expensive'

'No problem. Name your price. I'd pay anything to be with you
Every day'

'Retail is fine.Wholesale is out of the question'

'why'

'I just don't Like it'

'Could you make an exception for me?'

'no'........

i also like the story to have a happy ending
but i don't know how to write it
some years back I had a happy ending in my grasp
but i let it slip away


'If someone wants to Leave 2046
how Long will it take?
No one can say
Some people get away fairly easily
Others find that...it takes them much longer
It takes great strength and it can hurt terribly
I forget how Long I've been on this train
I start to feel very lonely'


'Who'd ever fall for an android?
Who can say?
Events can creep up on you...
...without you even noticing.It happens all the time'

'...I hug my android cabin attendant
I wonder if it's her mechanism
or just my imagination...
But I sense some responsive warmth in her artificial body'



A professional gambler

Some said she was a cheat
She always wore black
They called her Black Spider
She kept her black glove on all days of the year
Nobody knew why for sure

...her past...
...was Like the hand she always kept gloved
A mystery with no solution

'Maybe one day you’ll escape your past
If you do. Look for me'


'Leave with me' I kept on asking
But she never answered
I began dreaming up excuses for her silence'

It was as if he'd boarded
a very Long train
Heading for a drowsy future...
.. through the unfathomable night

Everyone who goes to 2046
has the same intention
They want to recapture Lost memories
Because in 2046
...nothing ever changes
But nobody really knows if that's true or not
Because nobody has ever come back
