from one of those Quarter-Machine s
I sat solemnly seduced, sending it soaring toward a statue of Apollo
utterly captivated as it collided
and then
returned

back and forth in this musty museum
with this pale blue, greasy-to-the-touch rubber chunk
adrift in my own haze - a maze - chucking to and fro for days? - amazed
residual embers from a beautiful blaze
clasped in my primary palm
made the motion to send it gone
swhooo
thwud as it thwud Beauty in the dick
swhooo
thwud as it thwud - caught
clasped in my primary palm
made the motion to send it gone
swhooo
swhooo as it missed
...
...
blunt: so damn zoned I didn't even notice
stupid: made the motion to send it gone
...
...
...

...
waking up: where the fuck did my ball go?
...
rising to my feet in this dim, cavernous place
noticing just now the bronze tiles beneath my toes
noticing just now I'm not wearing any shoes
noticing just now how cold barefootedness can be
off a cloud and noticing just now
almost there
almost completely standing
then Apollo belted a verse
"I don't always keep my bow strung
arrows are not always nocked
you best now be going - look at the clock
you're supposed to be at a meeting - and you're the boss"
and I tripped
yeah, tripped
and fell, skidding on my knees
on that polished, reflective floor
noticing just now the smell of Mr. Clean
noticing just now the culprit of sorts
a pale blue, greasy-to-the-touch rubber chunk
recollecting I have a meeting
the details unimportant
hurriedly finding my black dress shoes in the northeast corner of this atrium-opposite
(no windows)
over them draped my solid cobalt necktie
pale blue shoddy bouncin' ball
etching into where interior embers sizzed
a desire to remain here until the end
clasped in my primary palm
into my pocket it went, along with other things
it is my favorite thing - my favorite thing
my love for it and for physics
for motion
for its particular whispy whirl
for in it, I see a
sparing Apollo of my post perceptions, I set off
with intentions of returning
as soon as possible
"Just let me know when, Apollo."
