steady slender finger
slowly growing ever nearer
caught in a
time dilation field
centered around
the old switch plate
flesh and bone draws closer
gravity’s force pulls increasingly harder
until imperceptible motion sparks
miraculous midair contact
instantly shocking the world
into fast-forward motion
already caught inside the wall
detonating in a shower of
sparks and gore
delighting and appalling onlookers
as they leave without paying their bills
one by one they shuffle out
diving off the cliff
as they exit the shot-out
stained glass door
