Scraps, tatters, and the deluge of mindfill
flickering, animating, and magnetically assembling
your rumored origins
into chamber cinema–
you, and you alone watching
the graffitied runes of a life,
or many lives,
curated, transcribed, and projected
onto an empathic white whale of a screen,
known to host
and devour
the darkening distance of hours
in real-time.
