we talked about paradigm shifts
today in science.
i didn't believe that things could
change so rapidly,
so absolutely.
life doesn't work like that.
but things have changed
this quickly, this absolutely.
everything is different now:
my lens has been shifted, or perhaps,
popped back into place.
there is something new upon us,
uncharted territory that even the
pioneers of the stars have yet to encounter.
and while i may not know
how far things have changed,
i do know that they have,
and that i'm happy for it.
i've been uprooted,
i am unstuck.
where a half-year ago i was someone different,
a stranger to myself,
i am that no longer.
i look behind me at my past through a
rear-view mirror,
and suddenly this object is
farther away than it appears.
i understand what i meant now, i think,
to have lost it to the girl who has it all.
i'm fairly certain i had to lose a stranger's bearings, in order to receive my own.
it finally feels as if i've fallen back into place.
if only ever for this one moment.
