Attention!

It doesn't matter
how you feather
your hair
or if you're involved
in a production of
Grease, or simply sliding
through the universe.
There is a moment when
your finger snaps
get lost in the snare drum.
I refer to this as
x minus 0.
Other people I know, who
are more reasonable,
believe that this moment
is like other moments.
But I'm unconvinced.
You say to me, Hey, the
world is ending.
That's when I perk up.
