Distance and Time Expand

Distance and time expand
when we wonder
what plays in mind of another.


Is it fondness,
fear,
suspicion,
judgment harsh, or
judgment kind?

Distance and Time Expand

Bob Komives

Will we (when gap is closed)
return together to where we were?
Have we (apart)
advanced together?
retreated together?


Will we find no such symmetry?
One stuck;
other moved.
Each moved
to different place
by different route.


To now,
here now,
where distance and time shrink to zero.
When (in shy discomfort)
we report on journeys alone. 
 
Here now, 
when discomfort must yield
to celebration or to loss.
Our wondering replaced
by the joys and the pains of knowing.
