Eleven Seconds

.

Trebled footage,

Replicating,

In perfect unison,  

The faded print

Of a scarlet sunset.

.

And as I look at it, unbeknownst

To me, my eyes would travel

Between the three

And try to spot

The difference.

.

.

.

Imagine, if we lived the same lives over -

Constant iterations unfolding in sequence,

With free-will splitting its distinctions

If only but hidden into the margins.

.

Do you think we would remember
As we re-traced our own steps?

.

And how many times, do you think

it would take 

.

to remember the ones

       we'd missed?

.
