CELESTIALLY PROMISCUOUS
The
movie keeps changing––the scenes are never the same.
It’s
mad extraordinary variations on eternity.
There
may be more people in the background, less the next frame.
Lovers
never appear again or they appear as different people,
Celestially
promiscuous, unquiet dead surrogate memory wiper,
Alternate
future depicter, idealist alien threat peacemaker,
Ordinary
girl next-door boy stumbling into separatist rift,
Shooting
45s from string hanging out back clothesline,
Sobbing
over pizza, looking at the planet equal to
The
entire genetic multiplicity gamboling where
Some
disappear for no reason, some appear out of the blue.
It’s
the second Thursday of the week in some versions.
In
others, moon spice miners travel in search of the fabled lode.
