bubbles
i was at a concert for ‘Stars’ this evening and in the middle of “your ex lover is dead” they turned on twin bubble machines and thousands of bubbles went shooting into the air. i promptly stopped paying attention to the song and zoned out. i wrote this in my head during the ensuing moments. i rarely write poetry, so if you aren’t digging it please be kind.

Natalie: Tell me about her again.
Leonard Shelby: Why?
Natalie: Because you like to remember her.
Leonard Shelby: She was beautiful. To me, she was perfect.
