webbed row-by-row, hanging from pinpoints under the sky buildings of inky grey and black, swirls melting across their borders a shadow of what-if events drained away breathless, collapse on your back muted, lolls your head, hear the monitor beep… beep… beep… kicking and cursing from behind the glasses hung over your heavy lidded eyes

hear the monitor
beep…
beep…
beep…

kicking and cursing
from behind the glasses hung over your heavy lidded eyes
