Skipping the essence
Read the pauses slowly
and miss not the unspoken.
because it takes too much to look at Truth in the face
but you can when it is through old people's unfocused eyesight
or a young girl's wonder

Do not lie like the title.
I used to trade sleep to devour words
but you have been speed-reading.

the anticipation is hidden in the punctuation.
Did you faint with despair when her mind switched off

The world moves.
The right side thins as the left thickens
progress recorded by wrinkles on the leaves
