Somehow we’re now Harold Lloyd/Jackie Chan, letting go of the minute hand, dropping
ourselves right onto Magritte’s moving steam locomotive:

If we time it just right

I bet we could get it to
catch us,

dead on the
tailbone. Right between

the washout plugs
and whistle. Zero-
backspin earth

under us, itty bitty
clouds

all around us.
