Zeno’s Tortoise

Wall after wall
Mirror after mirror,
Dead end
Surrounded
By the chains of
Logic.
Material weight
Material truth
Material lie
Drowning in a
Swimming pool
Filled with
Cash.
Give birth to a
Mercedes
Call it Arthur,
Invest in a wife
Buy her a dream
Live in Legoland.
Take a trip
On the magic
Credit card,
Slag off
Your best friends
And give your
Boss your smoothest
Machiavellian smile.
Armani chin
Gucci stomach
Ralph Loren legs
Nike feet
Adidas arms
(What more?)
Suck it all in
Chew it all up,
Quick! [...]

A boy and a girl
Dance in circles
Grasping each other’s
Outstretched hands.
His eyes are blind
And a giggle quietly
Explodes from his
Mouth every time
She counts the turns.
Her hair flashes in
The sun, her voice fills
The silence, which hangs
Beyond the pinprick of
The moment.
