the hypnotist’s subject
in a deep trance
I was asked what I could see
and I replied
I could see it all
the beginning
and the middle
and the end
in a deep trance
I was asked what exactly
is the end
and I replied
the end is like being alone
inside a boat built for two
floating down the river allusion
april two thousand twenty-four
