forever’s just a second

standing

when the world won't give you a second

to just sit

and it's revolving

like a carnival ride, people getting on

people getting off

your feet swing but they can't quite

ever

reach the floor

there's

a safety in being here, in

being surrounded by those

spinning stars and the whirling

scenery and the song of the world

loud. unstoppable.

soaring, just for a moment

did you feel that - the brush of the trees no the ground beneath your feet

pent up in this primary colored funhouse

passing infinity and never getting the chance

to see it just a blink.

it's all so fast

it's all so infinite

it's all falling away - no it's falling towards you

or no, it's the thrumming of your own heart

it was never going to last

the spinning whirls by

cause it's up against an infinity of spirals

still, round and round and round

is it possible

that your mindnumbing go around - just a second in forever

could be just as long as

infinity?
