Time speeds through you . . . bidirectionally . . .

The ceiling fan spins tales of inundation . . .

How emulators seek justification

for hoarding . . .

The need to hold onto some semblance

of your past waking life

in all its preciousness . . .

The get-gos are gone . . . and will not be back

anytime soon . . . if at all . . .

There was a time and place

for some of us

but the clocks changed

so the players anteed-up

thinking they'd return and decide what to do

as if their lives were haikus without seasons . . .
