things feel slowed down 
are
     slowed down.
time there’s time
it seems a surfeit
                            of time.
time to reflect
to think about
think about how slowing down the
footage helps me to walk through
possible timelines. outcomes.
collateral damage.
consequences.

it still feels alien, but less so.
i’m still surprised by it, but less so.
i encourage it, welcome it.
more so.

all of this slowing down has
made ending things easier
and falling headlong into others
easier still
surprising me with the ease of which
i have fallen in love with you.
