Jane in a new friend’s car: ‘ohh, we’ve known each other
a few lives now,’ she coos like it’s performance art.
Suburbia, a slew of concrete wind and highway, rear view
eyes across the back seat, narrowing: ‘just think it and
it can happen…the universe delivers!’ She’s a spine-flexed book
of propositions, smiling like the word ‘smile’ into a world
defined. The road smooth as her incredulity
towards incredulity. Hills smeared with murk.
