IMAGINARY

The older I get, the more I find 
our arguments 

are far less

controversial 
than our actions are. So,

Slowly—surely 

I've been working 
more concretely 

on my invincibility—

by watching slideshows 
where pictures of me 

dawn and dissolve 

in grateful 
time to

mechanical funeral 

home music—
and by lying (supine)

down each day 

in one additional translucent 
grain at a time

of warm wet sand—
for just one 

grim and ponderously fictional

milli-
second longer.
