the stillness

stopped

it was

about time

—

he often

thought

of moving

and if

it were

constant

—

he could

hear quiet

not all

at once

—

he had

a permit

for life

itself

a limit

—

events

all meant

to start

a short

space

apart

when not

at once

they all

began

—

his share

of time

lapsed

—

he was

led by

trends

friends

—

he asked

which way

and they

scattered

he followed

—

he would

stop at

nothing

not leave

—

the two

were distant

relative

to those

around

—

to be

apart

each kept

in step
