Description of movement predicated upon the presence

Of future present prescription

Legs stretched to the ultimate ultimatum

Deal reached between the first and the last and anyway

They’ve always preferred the way shattered knee caps felt

But movement necessitates standing in the upright position

Not the distorted dissertation pages discarded years before

A glimpse from her, a lapse from him, the yielding signs that never yield

Staggering back forward from whatever was offered

It had us all kneeling, too young to need the carrot

Now they’ve gone running after the next generation of

Whoever was previously silent about their imperfections

The rest, stranded between the left and the right directions

The rest of us could have had the best of us but we chose

Differently, now the clouds all look similarly

And we, feet frozen permanently because movement negates the difference

The future becomes the stoic wanderlust of that worshipped culture

Each lesson forgiven for its mistake but echoed throughout each retake

Frame one, birth, frame two repositions the earth, no movement allowed

Now frozen in the now frozen digital cycle, where each screen capture’s caption reads

Click this for frame three, but the adblocks like the adverbs only facilitate the original meaning

The passage is temporary, where are these roadblocks whose voices speak silently

Because each frame is a million views recycling backwards to one permanently
