Special Relativity

Like others in search, I chased
rainbows, twinkles, fantasies.
Not brambles, not cathedrals,

nor hummingbirds. No time for
the bark of a sea lion,
the fragrance of fresh lemon.

I revisited Plato’s Allegory
of the Cave. Tried to improve
upon War and Peace.

Your good tentacle is waving
goodbye, Grandpa.
Forgive me—I was busy

filming a Venus flytrap
in time lapse. I lied when
I said I had no time.
