close up of a mouth eating breakfast
long shot of cars stuck in traffic
cut to a man on a train
scratching the scab on his face
zoom in on you in the mirror
putting on your makeup it’s serious
pan to your ancestors tilling the soil
forward a millennia they’re sold as toys
follow a conversation
of a middle aged couple
struggling with a handle
on a world they can’t control
trying to feel romantic
without a sense of desperation
surrounded by advertisements
for electric cars
wide shot of a crowd leaving the subway
armies of phones glowing like insects
we track a girl of nineteen
texting her parents for money
at this point in the action I do my walk on
evoking kitsch Russian ads for tampons
I smile then I look in your face
you scream and run away
( I give chase on my Segway )
zoom out as this song
plays in the background
life looks beautiful
the world is cruel
all captured in
a spinning solar system
framed by
an indifferent universe
