the way a weight on a stretched elastic cloth
i’ve been wrapping my head around this,
the larger the distortion of space and time
so as sci-fi media talks of warp travel
because with all that energy,
i’ve been wrapping my head around this,
would i have learned my lesson
would i have come to you
would i instantly arrive
would I come to you
wait, i know us,
i should know better
Trying to Change Fate
Janet Kuypers, 03/03/09
can move and distort the fabric of the cloth
everything in existence
can distort space in the universe
that gravity isn’t the strong one
but gravity’s a consequence
of the distortion of space and time
the bigger effect you see in gravity
all they’re really talking about
is producing the energy to warp space-time
so you instantly arrive
at the other side of the universe
the other side of the universe
comes to you
using dark energy to bend time and space
and i keep wondering what i could do
if i knew when and where
to get away from where
i was, get to where i need to be
and not come to you
when you, the ex-gang member
strangled me
in the middle of the night
called an ambulance
before your heart attack
keeping you alive
that one fateful saturday
to go swimming
instead of waiting in traffic,
being almost killed
while stopped on the road
despite the hurricane
to hold you once
before you let death consume you
i was your daughter,
but i was never close enough to you
to hold you
than to contemplate bending space-time
trying to change fate
