what is time?
ask nearest
quark.

...............

girl meets stranger
aisle 3 of super market.
"hi!" says stranger.

pause.

stranger says,
"don't you remember me?"
girl's mind feels deep hole
where stranger is supposed to be.
girl says, "sure!"
stranger says,
"do you have special coupon
for potato chips?"
girl shakes head -
"no."

pause.

girl walks to car
sees clouds floating
over mountain,
decides to go to movie
escape reality.
