Slowing Down

Nonzero velocity
is still the trace today
infinitude no longer calls
to remand the mind at play

Up and up and never down
denies the gravity
slowly partway crossing town
defies depravity

Slow and no and not to go
amble on instead
by the breeze that softly blows
nibble little bread

Flurries and the lightest rain
sample softer falls
as the silent quiet pain
answers mellow calls
