Theory

You know how fast you are?
Fast as a lightning bolt.
Every so the Speed Force.

You know how slow you are?
Slow as a lightning bolt.
Every so the Speed Force.

Where are you?
When are you?

I see you
In my dream;
I see you
In my mind;
I see you
But I see not.
How close yet so far
As I raise this glass to you
So imaginary if I breathe

You are you
But you are them
And they are you.
A theory so weary
I don’t recognize or cantonize.
