the distance

the distance

when did it come to this
and how, i know not
but the distance grows
wish i could hold it static
or better, make it shrink

two sides of a coin
always have different expectations
when time spins them around
and the distance could
reconcile the two, but it doesn't

and it skews our thoughts
and our impressions, projections
shattering the two become one
theory, is the purpose of distance
and it's so unnecessary

if we could convert this
to some sort of evolution
watching the trees grow
higher, cracking open the clouds,
the gray clouds hang over
