Faded
we can call it science-
string theory, some sort of continuum-

those times pack the hours in, a million or more
in every day
and the sticky fingers of children
the afternoon coffees
the long slow lovemaking
are seconds long, at most
and put together, the good and the bad
are simply a flash
lightning in the sky
something you thought you saw
for just a moment
a shooting star that leaves you with nothing
but a blinding light behind your eyes
and the feeling that something
