Once in a while

Once in a while

I look for moments

amongst many that come my way

I trace my right index onto my left palm

and list down words that defied

time

I watch as my finger struggles to move

and practices gravitational equilibrium 

like Newton once did.

Everything pulls on it and it doesn't seem to know

which way to move.

Dear love

People tell me you defy time

but your guise has eluded me.

Wave functions collapse and 

moments seem to roll on like a film

you don't remember.

Before you know it,

you have sent another "HAPPY NEW YEAR"

Reality

is something I created. I vaguely remember being hurt

and the rules of pragmatism that followed.

Truth is, I have no proof of what is supposed to be.

So,

Once in a while,

I look for moments

amongst many that come my way
