I dream of a New York apartment. Ceiling-to-
floor windows, a torrent of light. I can’t see
anything in all this optimism. Can’t make out
the shape of my own demise anymore. Can’t
think of a better way to die. My body dresses
itself and clockworks its way to work and back.
20,000 days to go before a final bed of rest.
The future is so bright – I don’t want to open my eyes.
Just burn it all. If I can’t see it, I will just have to feel it.
