Low Battery Mode

Low battery mode. 
Made of triangles bobbing around. 
Like things in unusual water droplets. 

The worst of knowing that everything is moving in a shuttering way. 
Not a pretty “whoosh.”
Just a whoosh at the base of my jaw getting slobbered on. 

I lost my keys. 
I think I’m entombed. 
Cascades. 

Low battery mode. 
Made of triangles flat, and unshaped. 
Like things in boring water puddles making a mess etc.

Made of lost keys in my head. 
Tragic. 
Things made of kaleidoscopes made of scraps. 

Made of my jaw, shutting down.
Low battery mode. 
Pencils of all things. 

I never found them. 
So the camera panned over to someone else. 
Unusual stuff.
