Cookie
In the
remote reaches of my mind,
I reach for
the remote to turn the channel.
I am doom
scrolling through
my mental
landscape.
I hit “like”
to that canyon
and a
pensive emoji.
I come to a
memory,
in my mind,
of the movie “The Odyssey.”
I remember
leaving the movie,
when it was
over,
and
thinking, “Maybe we should
stay until
after the credits,
maybe Homer
had a cookie
at the end
of his original
manuscript,
where the Avengers
come in from
the multiverse
and make a
joke that
has the
crowd rolling,
and looking
forward
to the next
Homer-Marvel
joint
venture.
