Dissecting elements of reclusion
worrying the rate of polymer degradation . . .
you as film preservationist
moments with silents
cherry-pick letters of the alphabet
trying not to be judgmental . . .
the menacing collage
the porosity of stalled time
the bucket list leaking indecipherables
into a playpen of dreams . . .
Hamlet and Hamnet hawk
claustrophobic incidentals
itching to be inventoried . . .
So what's a little queasiness? . . .
This is what you wanted, yes? . . .
Would you rather something else? . . .
How then pharmaceuticals
in the throes of ecstasy? . . .
Deep discounts? . . . of course . . .
Repercussions bouncing around
the breezeway at all hours . . .
Throat singers rewriting scripts, yes! . . .
And now the day . . . with coupons . . .
Can you wait it out? . . .
