Like A Deer In Headlights

but freedom of movement is no simple thing
there is no halfway

the distance between us is like a wrinkle in time

  1. Are your poems of late about anyone in particular-or just your expressions? They're all very good.

  2. What if your wrong?
    What if there is only halfway?

    "You will never reach point B from point A as you must always get half-way there, and half of the half, and half of that half, and so on." ~ Zeno's paradox

  3. It's so mmuch easier for me to direct you to Wikipedia's entry on the tesseract.
    "Madeleine L'Engle in the science fiction-fantasy novel A Wrinkle In Time uses a tesseract as a way of traveling. The easiest way to understand how a tesseract would help with travel is by analogy. Imagine a two dimensional creature, stuck on the surface of a three dimensional cube. Traveling across the surface of the cube would take more time than cutting through the center of the cube, as a three dimensional creature might. Traveling by "tesser" or "wrinkling" allows the children of the book to be transported to places unreachable by normal means of travel."

    There is only here or there, there is no inbetween.
    I probably am wrong. But, I like to believe in fantastical things.
