headwind

wind speed is a state of mind
as much as a state of nature

how fast is the stationary gust
when you're going fifty

what is direction relative to 
a grandparent of position

aunt of speed
and third cousin of time

where at thanksgiving
each member of this family

argue that the universe 
turns on themselves

for every reason
that there is to stay put

to transform
to go across the way

bring on the breeze
there's plenty of space
