Analysis of The Absent Dimension
Like clock hands
Retraveling spaces
Departures are arrivals
Never the same
Far from my famished stride
The path rests
Obliged and tame
To run,
And run
In circles
In vain
To breathe
To breed
Ticks off the game
Alien to this dizzy frame
To be
Timeless, with no guilt to claim
Spaceless, with no one to blame
