Continuity
Step outside for a second.
A second goes by the way a second does.
The house behind me.
When you look away from something,
The person comes around.
He changes things.
Eat a sandwich.
Play a game of golf.
Swim in a pool.
The way activities go by.
Seems faster than a scattered thought.
Eat a plate of pasta.
He follows me.
Predict the future.
Then predict another future.
Bouncing a basketball.
Wouldn’t it be funny if I could score?
Again and again.
Wouldn’t it be funny if I could…
Step outside.
Feel around.
The way antennae do.
I’m not a bug, I don’t think.
But I am forgetful.
Step outside.
Remember that you are a bee.
The beehive is far away.
But I will meet him there.
