like a ton of bricks

newton didn't mean to discover the law of gravity.

he sat underneath Your shade to rest;
and when he did, an apple dropped
and hit him in the noggin
before landing in his hands.

this is what Your timing
feels like. (2004.08.20)

i think i'm smitten; i've 'met' my match. my friend told me this evening that it's all about the timing.

the timing is very good. and pretty awful too.
