Faster Than Light
Take me now
to a place in the universe
where I can stand upon
and jump into the
vacuum sea
and accelerate
at a constant nine-point-eight
meter per second squared
and fall to infinitely low
ground, so I can travel
faster than the light
passing through the lens
of my eyes,
to see the future
(c) 2012
Sherwin Balbuena
when I go against
the shrinking cosmos,
to visit the past
when I face
its expansion,
and to love the present
when I fly across
the plane of time.
