Having
the
window
seat means
I
have
control
over
the
dimmable
glass
,
a
magic
trick
of
electricity
and
light
that
astounds
me
.
I
become
a
child
, sticky
fingers
drawn
to
press
the
button
,
again
and
again
,
to
satiate
my
amazement.
I
’m
drunk
on
my
own
power
.
I
want
to
watch
electrochromic gel blot
out
the
sun
.
Then
I
want
to
lift
the
veil
of
darkness
and
kiss
the
cloudbanks’ bridal
face
,
lips
wet
with
all
the
death
that
does
us
part
.
I
think
that
I
can
thin
this
portal
to
the
point
of
permeability.
If
I
make
myself
a
static
shock,
perhaps
I
could
pass
through
.
