Time seems to move
In a straight line
But as we move
Along this line
An imperceptible curve
Like the curve of the Earth
Or down
And around
And back again
An imperceptible curve
Like the curve in a turn
Moves us right
Or left
And around
And back again
An imperceptible curve
Like the curve of the eye
Moves us in
And around
And back out again
An imperceptible curve
Like the curve of a memory
Moves us back
And forth
And around
And back again
But
An imperceptible curve
Like the curve of a bullet
Moves us on
And on
And on
And on
And on
And on
And...
