81 – SEPARATION III

Time and Space.
The space between noon and midnight
The time it takes to go from
here to there and back..

There’s nothing inherently evil about them
They are concepts that help us organize.
Perspectives, relative to location, culture.

They are no bother
They are in the mind
of philosopher and astronomer
mixed up in theories of relativity
and in actuality
may not really exist at all!!

{How’s that for a weak rationalization on the
part of a self-deluding, heartsick graduate
student trying to convince himself that
the one person who makes him really happy
is not really 2000 miles or 40 hours by
a rusty truck ride away from him?}
