rhyme for the power line

in the parking lot
i slowed the car
until the unthinkable
happened
the distance
between us at motion
and at rest
mounted up as
smaller and
smaller
fractions of the space between
a beginning and an end

we know well enough
all this speculation
but, look up there
as we walk under
this power line pylon

the buzzing power
in its way
frightening as
the lines of our bodies
at rest
or
the way that you
and i will
get carried away
fractions of a larger
and larger distance
