roll the movie backwards
fast forward in reverse
your lateness
pops out of the stretch limo hearse
once more you're alive
getting better with each frame
back to the days
when you remembered
all their names the family
and blissful retirement ended
and you began to finish
your job again
back to college
back to high school
back to grade school
and babyhood again
back to the womb
back to the seed
back to the egg
and the solid moment of desire
inspiring spark,
where your parents are melting
in macarthur park.....
