your life shimmers on a highway
your shadow drifts with the sand
your face glowing in the starlight
lost within a thousand dreams before me

billboard roadsign: waving cowboy
the music is “Happy Trails”
pan down to the ground
pan down to the posts in the ground
sound is dark and foreboding
decay, termites
closeup
chewing, popping, clicking sounds
zoom close, zoom close
pull back: radio dial in automobile
radio playing
auto traveling along the highway
passes the billboard
billboard road sign
Charon
Styx
chalky, bone white color values
in the architecture and all the characters
the water is reflective
transparent, blackish color
happy trails, happy trails
large mechanical eye
large mechanical eye
large mechanical eye
metallic eyelids
no need to blink
technicians
technicians call routine checklist items
the eye rotates
rotates left
right
up
down
prime lacrimal glands
a tear forms
the large mechanical eye
cries a tear
cries a tear of liquid metal
a tear of liquid metal
cold
cold ice
blue crystalline cobalt
dormant
unmoving
a piercing intellect
unnuanced by compassion
drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting
through unimaginably vast intergalactic voids
until another encounter
happy trails to you until we meet again
a hollow echo encased in ceramic
flash, flash
pulse travels
emerges at one of the junctions
takes form
moves again
moves again
traveling on
on to the next node
cold
cold
sound sound: voices, ambience, other
increase in volume as drawing near
into the doorway
a glow appears along the edge of one corner
sound continues to increase
goes to black
merges with the next scene
next one
sound: hollow, distant
as if in a deep metal well
too close and it vanishes
blending now merging
happy trails
