gonna go out on a limb here
and say that somewhere out beyond the final star in the universe
there is a building
standing on a grassy hill

suspended there in the final iteration of all seeing
like the cover
of some trippy science fiction
paperback

and since I am feeling emboldened to describe things
seen by few and remembered by fewer
let me further speculate that there is a record player inside the building
and speakers in the windows on the second floor

the speakers point out toward the small field
whose terminus is the void;
the turntable to which they are connected
plays a ride for revenge album

the album is called wisdom of the few
its sleeve is on hi-gloss stock
and it's an awesome record
no matter what anybody tells you

if you listen to it now as many times as you can
then when you arrive at that final floating island
it will feel very familiar to you.
on the other hand

if you wait
then you'll be really surprised
the choice is yours,
as mr. case, my algebra teacher, used to say
