The film pauses,
a man and women standing
on a Martian hill,
their gaze across
the terraformed landscape
frozen in time,
their minute
moment of now packed with
infinite memories,
beginning, middle
and ending of their thoughts
one with infinity,
freeze framed in the minds
of the movie goers, popcorn
warmly aglow.
