In the ripple of an arm I mime the future:
The stars are our highway.

I twist appropriately to angle like a nacelle
And surf the caps of engineer's wet dreams.

As silent as the void I now mime,
My imitation so clear, Rarotonga was green.

Still as the mill pond, waiting to fall to the grind,
Turning so solid for flour, forge and star-base.

In this story I lie and lean against a transparent force-field:
Magnetic, disruptive, phased and transported.
