Images on the tv screen
flicker and fade, resurface.
They do not match the sounds
emerging in long, rolling waves.
The old, old movie tells the tale
of Noah, his gray beard, his ark,
and the complexities of God's mosaic.
The dialog, however, offers up
a French existentialist comedy about
laughing at despair.
Such inconsistencies can feel
like the universe opening up and
showing you a secret that
it's been keeping for ages.
