written after watching I Saw the TV Glow and falling in love with a movie, and remembering how long it has been since I have fallen in love with watching a movie.

Into the edge of adrift time shrinks as the glowing spectrum pans and shifts i want to feel friendly with the screen again i want to feel the fuzzy static embrace me like arms made of out dozens of freshly hatched chickadees warm around my chest like jet addled water outside the leaves flutter like channels in the airways its getting dark earlier in the day i want to like watching movies again so i watch them more than once it feels like sin, like a scratch on a disc skipping through limited screentime just to reconnect with actors and good direction i don't want to turn it off but yet i see the faint gloam of my own reflection
