In Motion

I understand electrons when I skate

I get what it feels like to take up fluid space

Left foot here, right foot there

Around the rink we go

I catch your eye and take a stride

Traction made as the inside of my blad makes a wedge

I push two adjacent lines to propel me

Towards your hand

Effortlessly we come together from wide angles

Barely bumping, we are anywhere in the electron cloud

2, 2, 4, 4, 8, 8, 16, 16, 32, 32, 64, 64

Squaring to infinity

My love, just keep spinning with me

Skating in harmony

Enjoying occasional discourse

The only time you truly understand what it feels like to be moving

Is the moment where you've stopped and measured

Recorded now, light stains the page forever

It is permanently placed

Boring through space

Imprinted in my brain

A colorful refrain
