I want Michael Fassbender to come in the room
right now - carrying a bunch of balloons - pink ones
It's important because it's January 14th and sometimes this is how these days go
The man who killed those two 30-year-olds has been charged with homicide - it -
I didn't know them and it isn't my pain - they were friends of people I know
And someone should talk about death today - all days - I wear my skull necklace
and pay for a painting of a canyon and it feels like a Turner storm and that is why I want it
I will never own Turner storms so -
Why Fassbender though - he came in first - I asked the universe
who should deliver January 14th balloons and it was him
We can talk about his choices of film if he is - in real life - this into comic books and video games
I often imagine being hit by a car as I cross an intersection - T-boned
is what they call it and it feels too graphic to discuss
But I imagine my body passing through showers of glass
swimming in a way I cannot in water - and I imagine what it would feel like
the rendering of bone and flesh and the images burned into retina that will never see again
In my head it is a jumble - like a screwdriver - a sort of whirl
An indecipherable - though maybe if you stare long enough but there is only a few seconds before the eye will hit the pavement - it is a cloud of brown colors washing over everything
A pop of sudden pink in the corner - the sun somehow still there
The face of a very European person taking souls out of the world
