My finger slips
or I click, an extra click,
or the phone glitches.
What if this is what it really looks like,
this planet of ours?
What if the blur, streak, and tilt,
are reality?
What's distortion anyway
but that which conveys a different story?
Curtain number 1. Door number 2.
Pick a number
between 3 and infinity.
I leave the building.
Behind me, the door
locks automatically
to keep the old people safe.
The old people are safe.
I've done this so many times,
you'd think the jolt
to my soft place
would have settled
by now.
The old people are safe.
(goodnight mom, love you, talk to you later, see you tomorrow, yes, no, drive carefully, I will, goodnight mom, bye, love you, talk to you later, see you tomorrow, see you, yes, no, drive carefully, love you too)
The old people are safe.
