COUNTING TO INFINITY

Even in doing 
very little, 

every little life 
must accrue. 

In the space 
of time 

it takes a whale
to blink an eye,

uncountable unseeable 
ecosystems are moved,

great galaxies 
implode

long before their constellations'
names become known,

and you—every step, 
at once takes you farther 

from the home 
where you started

and never any closer 
to the place you meant to go.
