atonal arrhythmia broke through the five o’clock fog today
and reminded me
that music is more than melody
my thoughts slowed to the speed of surprise
every moment, unmeasured
twenty moments per second, staggered by silence
the clouds scattering before my sonic sight
the latest in lithium ion battery technology
fused
with the ancient sun of Earth
and (if metaphors can touch this place)
shiny new tempered rubber
met methodically
with pulverized golden dirt
i’m going ninety-nine percent the speed of light
while aberrations of relativity condense my sight
and for just a moment i think
that leaf
that beat
that golden terrific sun…
end of track. no crossfade.
