Escape

*

Dolefully, mournfully, Agent Snowflake is
making her arduous way through official
documents brought home to produce the
right amount of assembly-line words for
the right amount of assembly-line texts

To win the right to exist in a duty-orientated
universe, after several documents she takes
a break to contemplate routine slogging in
the unimportant Sagittarius arm of the solar
system in the galaxy called the Milky Way

Wondering dreamily whether being an inha-
bitant of the Great Attractor region pulling all
local galaxies in its direction so they stream
in the opposite direction of an expanding uni-
verse, would not have been more exciting

Wishing the Seven Samurai had given more
details and she knew Robert Munroe’s tech-
nique for astral travel – she would have left
immediately to investigate the Great Attractor,
would have tried to climb on to

The celestial carousel where the solar system
hops up and down while turning in energetic
spirals around the center of the Milky Way
where a large Black Hole merrily waits to
swallow the whole galaxy

Since there is the happy possibility it might spit
out the whole Spiel through a White Hole in an-
other universe, it sounds very attractive, she
would like to escape the rules and regu-
lations of present reality…
