Magritte Time Transfixed

steam like smoke rises to join the clouds
       always upwards travel 
    until it's time to gently fall
        directional choice
 straight ahead
     follow your line of sight
forward motion, forward motion, forward motion
          the static from viewing the stopped
really thunders in your ears
             your heart races
train track train track train track 
                  until it becomes white noise
there is no track
     so much space but not enough
  you can't reach the end of the line
there is no line, there is no line, there is no line
                       heading for a calm smash
            but it hasn't happened yet
   may never if you
                           stand and stare
that's the beauty and torment of stopped time
      in the shock of this moment
nothing but the solitary
         is reflected in the mirror
    and the casement of time 
                     which tells of nothing
    it's impossible to imagine the devastation
devastation devastation devastation 
    when everything neatly ran like clockwork
      though the clock stopped
   moment of pause hangs 
      the minute it resumes 
   will be so loud
      until it's gently settles
   predictable predictable p/
