It Takes a Second
In a certain time,
In a certain town,
In a certain school,
In a certain playground,
In a certain part,
Where no grass grew,
There lay pebbles two.
They never spoke to,
In front of, each other
(Never bothered to try too)
For each had his own wonder.
His own space,
His own resilience,
His own ways,
His own existence.
So why bother?
One day,
Where one of them lay,
A boy kicked a pebble away.
(Movement.)
The galaxy was pushed into disarray.
The other pebble watched,
As the universe unraveled,
It was the very first time,
He saw either of them traveled
(a distance).
It takes a second to realize.
“Oh what curiosity!
Oh what new bounds!
Oh what stupidity,
To think that I am sound.”
He wants to move too.
He tried.
And tried.
But he couldn’t.
It takes a second to realize.
