poem

 The Force of Time

Holding this ball over the precipice

Assuming it's the law of gravity 

That takes over if I let go.

Everyone knows this.


But if I stopped time

The loosed ball doesn’t fall

No matter how much gravity pulls 


All happenings of applied force

Are subject to the dominion of time 


Without time

Nothing happens  

Nobody reaches

There is no kiss


I see you down below me

Wondering when I’ll come

It isn’t electricity that attracted me

It isn’t gravity that I fear 


I just need a little more time

To take me away from here
