New Sport

By: Angela Clem

Lead between my eyes,

it moves faster than you think.



I know it’s hard to tell from your point of view,

but it’s almost impossible for me to realize it even

happened in the first place



Don’t worry.



The probability of failure is so slim, it’s basically

nonexistent. And even if I took the initiative to whisper

in your ear, you wouldn’t believe me,

because you never did.



I see it coming, and at that very moment I know

I have an infinite time to move out of its way,

Plenty of opportunity

to change my mind

and dodge it

Or catch it



I’ve never been much of a hand-eye

coordination girl, anyway.
