in the early days of

in the early days of
discovering
teleportation, people flocked
in and out of
cities, towns, endangered
ecosystems, any
place they could
imagine.

malfunction, severed spatial
eliminator widgets, quantum
dissociation syndrome,
the cost, work, dog duties.

stop imagining teleportation

invaders to the

discipline to

like strangers
in the park, two

bump into
each other –
a chess game

winning fixed
action pattern,
a veteran player
poised
into Asimov’s
hard science future
