slow-loading
something
that starts
fast
and finishes
slowly
you begin
by working
backwards
but become
stuck
at the end
like a travelator
in an airport
or an elevator rising & falling
in slow motion
we write words
that turn time
around
it took me
a full minute
to realise i was
shaking.
double helix
we put everything
we owned
into one place
a time capsule
of fragrances
and the knowledge
that everything must end
the possibility
of an archive
the promise
that something
will be remembered
a future city
full of children.
a gift shop in chinatown
A high powered radio transmitter and all the information in the world. I still couldn’t reach you. I wanted a monument that was invisible to everyone but us. Like a still body of water and the sound of the city at dusk. Or a reflection.
Later I was in a gift shop in chinatown trying to think of something significant to buy. There were charms for health and prosperity, but nothing to slow down time. And definitely nothing to stop it.
