fantasy of broken glass steps from fridge to barrel-chested water heater push the green button clicks to ignite pilot filling with heat the cold, vacuous hope chamber click times twenty no yield wait wait the projectionist empties the can and tosses ribbons to the screen-- that's his job click times twenty no yield wait wait but behind the lights he sees not what the screen's face lays bare click times twenty no yield wait wait the projectionist hears only what his own speakers interpret as consistent with what he is familiar click times twenty still no flame wait wait so walk the glass path? take a nap call your State Farm agent task manager forced reboot
