Questions

 

Infinity is wide,

so they say.

It's closed, but open as the sky.

 

Both borderless

but framed as I?

 

Still motion?

Both a point and a line?

 

I'm standing, balanced, here,

but moving all the time?

 

The universe expands,

bursts with every breath--

one hundred thousand miles a minute,

maybe more.

 

This might be right.

It's what I'm told.

Which means I'll go a million miles

before I'm very old.

 

My Mother's behind me.

But if she weren't she,

Who would I be?

 

Her mum's behind her

forever and ever

on and on

mum behind mum

ad infinitum.
