Is Thinking Really the Best Way to Travel?

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Is Thinking Really the Best Way to Travel?

 

 

there's a fine line

between

fine lines

 

a split-second decision

splits our attention

down the middle

 

seconds don't split

obligingly

fine lines

 

don't feel very fine

in their split-second

lives

 

i am trying to attend

to those fine lines 

and split-seconds

 

but i just don't have

an extra second

to split

 

or to

find the

fine lines.
