It usually takes about 5 minutes for me to blackout while sitting on the black leather on the black tar going 60 fully there but not quite fully aware. This is my third autopilot and so far I like her the most because she has the biggest eyes though she sometimes glitches and needs to be reminded that even at a beety red light there’s no need to jot down an idea for a poem, or even world peace (The two are not the same.)
So while the road lines melt into a side swept long exposure dizzy photograph, but like the ones that move in the Harry Potter movies and I assume the books too, the books I would definitely like but probably will never actually read, the photographs like living live photos seemingly sweet memories coming to life but in reality a horrifying knock off of the fly on the wall except this fly could be your late grandma in portrait mode or an angsty teen musician stuck in a teeny-bopper magazine poster, and as I am seeing all of these animated flipbooks I realize, just maybe, in another life I was definitely a Cher imposter but with a better impression than she herself.
Then a singing sea nymph and even those cursed by her, one of Cleopatra’s snakes, stuck in a life without limbs, let alone thumbs but a mouth to devour and ultimately, importantly, perfect teeth. I am not fit to be a pet still though, to be forced to always listen and never speak never fully understood, except, not being a pet doesn’t even mean I have done or not done those things I am just always done and not done, undone and now done with this drive and unsure of just quite how I made it here, I believe, alive.
