Consequences

the Universe
that nifty Chinese ping pong champ
will whack it back
the speed of light:
a granny on a scooter
the sound barrier, knee high
you'll realise

each time you wake
step out, each time you speak
or raise your hand
it ripples out
now go back, comb your life
find the places you were less than fine
pick up those things and weigh them

the note about that girl's BO
anonymous
and all those times
you said things
not to hurt exactly but they
were what you felt, weren't they?
measure again

then ask
why me
