A Part by Elvis Bego โ€” The Dodge

"but how could I be there and also be here to see myself being there, three rows ahead and five chairs apart from myself, or whatever it was I now was here in this being that was not myself, here in this seat where something of myself still was"

Floor Manager

The factory produces a new hum of thunder. We disagree with this update. We try to quit but the floor manager will not allow us to quit. He will not let us leave. If we keep up such disruptions, he threatens to move us to the lumber yard. Our ears bleeding, our ears singing, we say, Yes, yes, anything but the thunder, anything but this. You have to be kidding me, he says, looking at our empty hands, so soft from all the soap needed to breathe thunder into life, then looking at his own hands, so covered in lumber, so absorbed in forest. If you say so, he says. We can hardly hear him. He can hardly hold his kids.
