A coiled membrane

begins to travel through

the ridiculous speed

of light in the quick

darkness of night

while a rod-like package

gets catapulted into

oblivian like the child heroes

you read about in comics

or in the overzealous comments

read in old history books.

Taken for its true beauty

the coiled membrane is

gently revealed to envision a simpler time in our everyday lives.
