Amy Elmers Final Poem

[0:03] Eerie music plays A slow pan showing the Earth from a satellite view; text appears on screen:

To fish from a cloud in the sky

[0:09] A still image of a clock. The days of the week are written where the digits should be; text appears on screen:

You must find a comfortable spot

[0:12] An aerial shot of a shoreline; text appears on screen:

Spend the day looking down

[0:17] The clock is shown again. Now the days are replaced with months; text appears on screen:

Patiently

[0:20] An aerial shot of a mountain range; text appears on screen:

Clear-sighted

[0:24] Trees fly by; text appears on screen:

Peer at your ceiling:

[0:31] A collection of what looks to be tiny lights moves in slow-motion; text appears on screen:

where a light dangles

[0:36] Bulbs of light pass by at nighttime; text appears on screen:

hook & line could be slipping through

[0:50] A P.O.V. shot of a train as it rushes into a tunnel

[0:58] We see the sky from underneath water; text appears on screen:

Under the hull of a boat, a fish will see things this way
Looking up while swimming by--

[1:03] More microscopic lights; text appears on screen:

A wavering pole’s refraction

[1:06] A shot of tree leaves at night; text appears on screen:

Catching its eye
The bulbs of light at night return

[1:12] Another P.O.V. shot as the train leaves; text appears on screen:

What will you catch?

[1:22] A black screen; text appears on screen:

With what sort of bait?

[1:26] People pass through a security detector in a subway. A man lifts the sleeve of his jacket to reveal an analog watch; text appears on screen:

Take Care or you’ll catch yourself,

[1:31] An older man’s face as he scans his surroundings; text appears on screen:

A fish might say

[1:46] The clock again. This time, there are no words, only the Greek letter Mu the clock hand rushes around the clock at an almost undetectable speed. A group of people in the subway station. Another satellite view of the Earth; text appears on screen

As inescapable skeins of shadow

[2:00] The doors on the train open, passengers board, and it takes off. More trees fly past, this time in the other direction; text appears on screen

scatter a net over the face of the deep

[2:05] The train zooms past; all the lights in the subway shut off.
