As
the wheels became unstuck
and
we filed our restraining order against the earth,
my
eyes turned to the tiny television
embedded
in the seat in front of me
where
on the screen appeared
three
attractive women dressed
in business suits, standing
in a park,
fighting over a candy bar.
The
candy bar flew up into the air
and
floated just out of reach
as
they silently shrieked and leaped around,
grasping
wildly for it.
Out
the window, far below,
the
neighborhoods glowed like rows of coals,
like
colonies of luminescent creatures
lighting
up the ocean floor.
