"Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope that you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you" - Jonathan Safran Foer


I am
surrounded
trapped
captured
by everything.

And endless race,
this life is.
The finish line so far
from where I stand.

So I cheat.

Cool night air
floods my lungs.
My cheek
embraces
the raw pavement
beneath.

I feel a car’s roar,
its bright lights piercing
through my closed eyelids.

Here it comes.

I breathe,
once more.






It hits.

Finally,
I reach


nothing.
