The Movie Version

Staring straight into something entirely beyond

37 cups of coffee & the vicarious thrill
of sniffing the fumes off someone else’s menthol cigarette

and centuries later learning the sky is opaque
tending to lean a bit more towards the dark

picks up where you left off

page 112, second paragraph & the thought
that this personality defect could be parlayed

into an asset if you only had a sense of timing.
