Perpetual Motion

For countless lifetimes

our bubble brains appear,

go through the motions,

vanish tracelessly.

Merry-Go-Round...

remember when you begged

your father to stop, and, in

delightful torture he kept it spinning?

Gyroscopic life whirling so

it seems as though we're standing still...

yet haunted by what we don't yet know:

what we forgot in order to get here.
