i am small 

             a tiny dot  shrinking beyond   <  invisibility...

at the centre of the screen    

♦      

after all the lights are off

YOU would not miss me even if you noticed that i had been  ⇒ here X

 

then         

 

g0ne.

 

I sing the white noise song of eternity 

                                                                     always at the beginning         no end…

 

I nestle against you to find comfort

to forget how vast you are           and              that I-am-a-part-of-YOU

I ignore your laws and bend my own

to fit against a shape                                         I cannot comprehend 

 

We watch segments of our story flicker their neon tails through the dark spaces

Can't pretend I understand it all. But it's fascinating. Leaves a huge vast picture and a feeling of both smallness and safety.

Thanks Catherine, I suppose it is rather obtuse, TV and the universe, probably only makes sense to me but I'm glad you managed to get something from it.  :)
