Dancing cloud guy by johnstodder.



distrusts all pasts
conditionals and perfects
future continuous too

suffers
fallibility of memory, senses
history is compound
of minute particles, questions
whether event exists
if unrecorded, hears noise

of one small plane
passing over rather high up
gradually diminishing into nothing,


cool,

lightweight
