there is !spontaneity! in my chest, ready to be plucked like an apple from it's branch, I just need a boost and the reaching hand-- (and there the film clicks in defiant pause) in a frame with the apple perched, the moon patiently waiting it's big reveal - signalling to the silent observer a subtle but over- whelming change: I am drifting in my skin, I am sitting on my hands, I am doing anything but chang- ing.

I wrote this after watching 'Pleasantville' for the asdfljasdjabillionth time. I love that movie.
