  1. In pictures I am almost there. Eyes wide, limbs contorted and jangling, reptilian, bluish hued translucent, head shaved, clothes hanging like cobwebs from some ancestral coat rack. See my cheek, red from a thousand pinches, a thousand suggestions of meating up my bones.
  2. “Bones.”
  3. See my cancerous little head poking out of a snowbank, phlegmatic stalactites hanging like ice-cliffs. My lips are blue and I feel cold. Wincing eyes, snow snails down my back and out my pantleg. See the monolithic grey poured out down this stair-step New England. I am home.
  4. Ma's flashing through the memories again, these pictures embossed on her opal pupils, they glow so bright in the darkness. It's all projected on the walls. “Another day of this bullshit Ma? Come on now, let's make something of ourselves.” She's smiling so loudly that she can't hear. The limb gardens are glowing red in her eyes. Flakes of auburn, gold, maroon tender floating in the breeze. Ma used to talk about those days, but nowtimes she stays amongst them. Smiling so blindingly bright, tender floating in the breeze.
  5. I pull off my boots, my scarves, coats, gloves and, at last, my frostface. It goes limp in my hands. The zBs flush from the outtake, fastly into the tubing, launched ballistically into the zwarm. I can't make them out from the snow and the clouds. They fly so damn fast, up to the hive to recharge. Ma said that they weren't always buzzing up and down to Earth, that folk used to put dinosaur-juice and smoky-firey-death into machines. She said that there used to be tubes all over the place to move zBs around. She said that back when she was a kid she had to go places to buy things. Everything changed before I was born I guess. Ma doesn't say much nowtimes.
  6. I stare into my lifeless frostface, my own, melted like candlewax. It's missing something-
  7. “Bones.”
  8. “What do you want Jonah?”
  9. “Are you inworld yet?”
  10. “I just got in the door. I have to eat.”
  11. “I don't know if this can wait.”
  12. “I'll get to it. Fuck off.”
