So slow
Always slow
Always behind
Traveling slug's pace
Against cheetah's sprint
Seeing the goal
Slowly fading in the distance

Racing
Running
Raging
Struggling to catch up
Never to catch up

The mouth
A lap behind
The brain

The brain
A thousand miles
Behind the world

The world is gone,
Is a spaceship
Traveling to the moon

I am a boy
Standing on Earth
With
My loves
My lives
My dreams
On a one way trip
To the stars

I guess I'll learn
To build a rocket.
I have plenty time
Stuck on this rock.
