Momentum

Momentum is intangible. 
So are spaghetti noodles, space, and grand openings. 
I have enough time to learn about those things. 
Climbing and stuff. 
Dangerous for no reason, except they say it’s nice. 
Turned my T-shirt inside out. 
Shaking nuts and bolts off of me. 
Catches on easily and causes people to skate around like a notebook doodle. 
So are grass clippings, climbing bricks for no reason. 
Momentum took me here. 
To graceless sticks being run over by cars all day. 
Momentum is sticky, slobbery, and takes all my favorite scarves.
