no opposites now

spinning the top up from the bottom
stares as if it has got some purpose
what time is it really
thinking out loud at times only harms the balance
someone might fall back from the edge
ready to go and night won't slow it's approach
no matter who is ready and who is not

spinning the top off the table and back to the floor
less distance to fall is he is already there
where everywhere and nowhere are both lit
ends of the same candle
there's no one here to hold it steady
and light the darkened path

spinning on top of a layer of ice
forming on that which dry only days ago
sliding from one side to another
no opposites now as everything seems the same...
