Ever nightmare through a night out, ever
lose some major coin, ever slot machine
past Mr. Right (or Mr. Whomever)
before cuddling up to Mr. Mean?

This procession of images. I was a small light flying around in space. But there were no stars, there were no planets. There was only direction and speed.
