HELMS Message-ID: THIS POSSIBLE LIFE I trace our cuts again. Time beneath each other’s hands. A heap of sound. Streets all fluttering. Boy walks ahead of me always. He can’t remember if he changed the sheets. He says his hands are cold. A broken window. How long will it take him to notice. We arrive in the middle of the movie & stitch. There are only so many days I can wear the same face. *Joshua R. Helms* is a candidate in the MFA program at the University of Alabama.
