Noob Goes For a Walk
Noob goes for a walk in a straight line
The distance from point A to B is easy
But going only half way as required
Going half the distance all the time
Is not so simple as Noob might think
Traveling from A to B means shrinking distances
Carries diminishing returns for all concerned
Noob travels for centuries and picks up speed
To reach a destination which is not there
Going faster than the speed of lightning
Can be frightening with science on your side
Numbers go up and down and sideways
With Noob who travels half as fast
And half the distance all the time
That will have to suffice for now
Points A and B turn microscopic
Soon Noob will be out of sight with them
But always in existence as predicted
In a Zeno Paradox
