My brain scan came back
electronically, without commentary.
I expected an intake of breath
a frame by frame affirmation,
an attached graphic to explain
these pyrotechnic nighttime
symphonic explosions, a soundtrack
for the ages, or at the very least
a casual observation (my God,
it’s full of stars!) instead
I got one word:
unremarkable.
