Again an6 Again
Jay Roccaforte
Again and Again
I toss a bowling ball into space
And feel at one with its spin
The days since last summer feel
endlessly hollow,
A Russian nesting doll of my own design
Each day is lost to the mind as
An increasingly finite one replaces it.
I’ve grown tired of these
Planck length days that stretch thin
And drag along a treadmill.
The Earth’s rotation slows to a halt
And what then?
Time has always been a concept anyway
And I’m left with an expressionless sky
No sun or moon to guide me
And I am what’s still spinning
What chaos remains when I’m left feeling nothing?
I am an object forced to stay in motion, lest I destroy the laws of your universe
This universe I no longer inhabit leaves me stranded
And yet it is all I have ever known
If I am all that rotates for this expanding eternity,
The center of my universe relies on me to maintain its thoughtless desires
These distant stars shine with a siren’s lure
And the sea I drift in
is as shallow as the gutter of my
bowling alley
What defies shallow
If not the depths of our painful sky?
