the quickest

[vocab]

where to begin?
with my thoughts still
as a kitten hidden in the tall grass
given away by the flicker of a tail
a motion
a series of simple gestures
laid side by side
become walking or dancing
and a kite without a string
is also a sail without a boat.
A thing may be simplified or a thing may be complicated but that thing reamins the thing that it is understood or not.
At moments I feel myself become quick with the quickest of the world
at moments a text can become a song.
There have been moments so lonely
words were all there were to turn.
And there have been moments filled with so many people and so little space
words were all there were to turn.
The lonliest moments come beside lakes
while searching your thoughts to a person to love.
The lonliest moments come as a sudden chill
they come from bleak equations of day and night
the numbers of sleep and silence
out of sleep come numbers that measure
the legnth of day one will be able to maintain
out of silence come equations which tie tedium to time.
The classrooms were time is taught are tedious cells
and the desks are filled with those who were nearly quick enough.
the quickest have understood these rooms
before there eyes ever opened to light
The quickest have become cats flicking tails in a tall grass
the quickest have become walking and dancing
and the quickest have become sails without boats breaking clean into the sky.
