Relative Something

.

.

the number of thoughts I can have
in the minuscule confines of a single second
baffle my sense of time and the universe
remembering things and forgetting them
in less time than it takes to finish a breath
accepting the places I have stood
as more than mere figments of my imagination
wondering about hands I have held
disasters I have witnessed
that were not really disasters
with the passing of time
providing enlightened perspective
photographs instantly trigger
recognition of more
than a moment in time
