from across the room
from across
the room
the spider’s
motion detected
a slow walk
as might
a turtle’s stroll
slow
steady
as if
no care
in the world
around
and around
the ball spins
everything still
as always
a mystery
an unknown
some complicated
over so many heads
a ballon
in flight
the how what when where
and why
who cares
the magic appears
to happen
time and time again
what is time
you ask
some say now
others
yesterday
today
and tomorrow
Fyou and the horse
you rode in on
that too
illegal they say
but why
asked the child
curious
in all the new ideas
thoughts
everything fresh
info
to soak as a sponge
rinse and repeat
as the milk
sours fast
as do the lies
in time
if only we had a machine
a do over mechanism
rinse and repeat
the circle
of life itself
plays out
every second
learning
or not
from our mistakes
as animals
we all be
some smarter
some
well
not so much
hense prisons
a good reflection
of both creature
and keeper
of the stupidity
flame
that burns bright
as ever
someone famous
once said
you can judge
a society
by the prisons
it keeps
just another anecdotal
that speaks volumes
in common sense
rare moments
indeed
speaking of time
