sonic boom.

12500 miles per hour

is

16 times the speed of sound

exactly the speed of life.

weightless,

cold inside-

the world burns all around.

life speeds by and all of a sudden

-there you sit

in an empty room, wondering

where

it

went.

a full heart that doesn’t think

it can feel anymore.

-or-

any more.

I’ve got

memories from months ago

that seem like they are

a lifetime old right now

and feelings

today

that seem so new

though

I’ve felt them all before.

and every single one of them

memories,

feelings,

old

and

new

blowing through my mind

at 16 times

the speed of life.
