Decalogue, Addendum 16:
Thou Shalt Not Unspace, Re-Time

Don't give it a thought, don't unbreathe

The flickering breath
Of one meager human lifetime --
So quick, so very vital, so very quick
         (this now, this now)

Small-flowing gestures --
Quantum rivulets of when-where --
Create and destroy worlds
         (this here, this here)

Whole worlds,
Created and destroyed
By little, tiny gestures
Of one meager human
Breath, flickering
         (this here, this now)

Don't do it, don't even think about it

~Giovanni Francesco

Giovanni, a native of the Boston area, is putting together his first poetry collection. He writes he can, "live without words, but not without the ocean." Email.
