episodic memory
alien kisses stitched her mouth shut
giggle balloons are always seeking gravity
countdown began at the last year of her first century

she gleaned all the manuals with laser retinas
she filed the textbooks in cashe sensors
central processing sharks fishing for pirates adventuring

my story stilled stage four ventricle spasms
the canvas trumps the sonar rhythm's wisp
the harmonic oscillator dilates with rapier sheen
illuminating the sacred penitentiary
