The sound fades into space dust across your chin now looking over that wretched parachute, your forehead now perspiring terribly somehow (you still have no goddam clue how you’re breathing in space– maybe you’re not, maybe you died aeons ago) as you try to swat away memories that buzz like flies. And how is it that space is so vivid, like that creeping curling plume of purple cloud stuff (if only you had taken an active interest in science with its white coats and beakers, if only you had taken an active interest in anything) and that chrome toaster over there yes that’s it! Just perched lonesome on the stump of what must have been a huge tree, at the center of a clearing of brush and Sequoias: you don’t even seem to walk there but drift only distantly of your own volition. When you get there then poppity out popping the yes what you need pop tarts, the most delicious pop tarts you’ve ever had!
