The principle of velocity is simple, if time is measured in repetitions and if speed is merely point A and point B. I have tried to avoid comparing the length of your shadow against mine as we stood on the open field marvelling at how fast dragonflies dart. We whittle away the hours walking slowly behind a clock that is moving too swiftly. If it was left to me, I would scale time By means of how long you arc your back while you stretch every lazy Sunday. And calculate speed by merely watching how your fingers skim over songs as deftly as if you have known them all your life-- like my skin, moving with a new-found momentum colliding against your every curve. I would have gladly exchanged precision for memories to gauge how fast I am falling, If only to forget that the distance between you and me, is altogether too exact. blue rogue |
