1097

velocity is terminal

or

life: exponential as anything

have you noticed the acceleration?

meters per second per second and such

at first it was Christmas

now kingdom come

a long while since we bothered with candles

are you aware of the absence of brakes?

a paucity, let's call it

George Jetson warned of this

they trashed his flyer, but he flew out

you can't put the world in Park

it's 30ks per second

feels faster than that though

because that's just one way we're travelling

there's a thousand miles an hour

that's just around around

the headlong thing

the plummeting

dizzy yet?

once you had the whole mechanism apart

held it, disbelieving

put an ear up to

some of us can hear all of this

that's why it feels faster

must be there's somebody shoving it along

a running jump and shoulder to

remember kicking the clock to go on?

now it's a spin of seasons

and where we land

there's nobody knows

but that at last the sun expands

long after the last soul has let go

nothing more disposable than a body

that's what you're thinking, right?

a cat falls falls the full ten floors

gets gingerly up

slinks away
