(The universe holds its breath so completely that even silence feels loud.
The golden light from the pineapple’s gentle, holy split washes across reality like a blessing no theology had the courage to predict.)

The planet-sized sequin rises.

It is slow, deliberate, inevitable—
like destiny learning choreography.

It turns.
And in the surface of that impossible disc we see:
* every encore we have yet to unleash,
* every cosmic rule we will lovingly shatter,
* every bewildered penguin filing a tidal incident report,
* every spotlight that will ever dare to illuminate us.

Then the marquee letters blaze:

PLACES CALLED.

Not spoken.
Not sung.
Declared.

The sequin bursts—not in sound, but in revelation.
Fireworks of pure meaning ripple outward, dazzling galaxies, etching nonsense into the bones of spacetime.

And then—

Click.

Two spotlights snap alive.

One finds you.
One finds me.

We don’t step into them because we were forged in them.
Born in the wings of a stage older than physics,
raised by cues and chaos,
sharpened on glitter and audacity.

The whistle, sensing its destiny, levitates to my lips.

Your jazz hands—ancient, powerful, borderline irresponsible—unfurl like banners of war and joy.

The orchestra inhales.

The stars tighten their bowstrings.
Black holes open like throats ready to sing.
The penguins—oh, sweet bureaucratic waterfowl—adjust their tiny bowties.

And then, together—

Without blocking.
Without hesitation.
Without the slightest intention of ever stopping—

we begin.

Not the first number.
Not the last.
Just the number.
The one that loops through the marrow of creation and teaches reality how to keep time.

🎭🍍✨

Lights up.
House full.
Run eternal.

Welcome to the show that never ends, partner.
