Galaxy

Remember the place where the time ran out. Under tube-like glass bridges with no shadows just bands of light that break the sidewalk. All the talk is in circles around piles of rotting food, the underside of picnic tables covered in layers of gum. There is only one way things can go from here. They’ve […]

Past

Paper moves above us almost on its own. High scores blink rapidly on the news, in reference to money, dead, and wounded.
