The Fastest Man
No longer exists at all
except as numbers
frozen on a stopwatch
and the afterimage going dim
breath thinning
before the first stair
leaning back, one arm bent, the other lifted
grasping nothing
No longer exists at all
except as numbers
frozen on a stopwatch
and the afterimage going dim
breath thinning
before the first stair
leaning back, one arm bent, the other lifted
grasping nothing
The secret of poetry is cruelty.--Jon Anderson
