earth lag

earth lag

kind of like jet lag

but worse, for the earth 

spins faster 

than the jet flits, 

to take off, to propel, to lift

half

the time it takes for swift
light to break through 

the clouds 

the crowds forever in motion 

-be still-

an illusion

an intrusion: of otherness

for to move

is to be be moving with 

the earth 

earth lag

kind of like jet lag
one
cannot remain stag(nant)
