Relative Something

.

shhh
I can hear you thinking
translating
getting a grip
fathoming
the unfathomable
unflappably picturing
within each picture
a slowing of time
chances slipping away
without consequence
mental gymnastics
rounding off
magically
somewhat drastically
for sights unseen
well between
the here and now
no way to tell
just how far
our minds can go
to justify
what we think
we already know
