Slow

You accidentally mixed the magic potion bottles up

And drank the one that slows reality down

Until now you never noticed

The subtle interplay of colors and shapes all around you

And the underlying harmonious randomness

You never realized how much

The hideous architectural choices of the last fifty years

Have profaned and desecrated this world

In groping for the antidote

You accidentally swallowed even more

Of what is slowing down time

All of the coded expressions and gestures

That used to be inscrutable are now transparent

And it's obvious what everyone is thinking

And what they really mean

Hyperaware but unable or unwilling to express

Your newfound godlike knowledge

You sit atop a mountain and silently observe

You jump you fall continue to decelerate

Secure in knowing at this rate

You'll never reach the ground
