The ramifications snowball with indifference,
the blue-lined notebooks
fat with FAQs sideswiping you
as you again test the waters
the default set to stream.
Perhaps you should buy time at the kiosk,
the one with the the Buy One Get One
of pics of your former selves -
some then some now -
picking up fragments of what might have been.
Perhaps you should rethink your lines -
the read-through pristine yet unconvincing,
as if the bell lappers knew all along
when to retreat into the background.
