1.

Don’t worry.

We have armies

of showrunners

writing our dreams,

ones where we’re featured

as skilled apparatchiks

facing credible threats

that appear and disappear

like clockwork,

leaving no apparent

damage.

2.

It was all one

to me—

all pain-pleasure,

all squirmy

life-death

until your head

broke the surface

and looked

backward and forward.

Now see

what you’ve done.
