One Moment to the Other (v2) (Free verse) by nentwined

one moment to the other goes by way of circumstance; one moment from the other flows in slow inertial dance. one moment to the other, slight, is where we spend our worry -- 'tis but a brief and fancied flight that causes us our hurry. one moment to the other, long, is hardly there in mem'ry: where once a moment boasted strong 'tis now but only temp'ry. one moment and another pass in that which is our consciousness in spans too short or long to grasp... one moment here, one moment less.

2 buns! (hmm, is that equal to a buttocks? her mind races back to the table of weights and measures she never really memorized in home ec. damn! she can't remember. rather than risk looking like a fool by asking "where's the rest of the body," she decides to treat the head and the two buns as separate entities, and replies graciously) thankee kindly, good sir. and a severed head! a brunette! most excellent choice! this completes my caucasion collection! (she is grateful he did not bring her another asian trophy; she's had to discard 3 already this week, and the trash man has been complaining about the weight of her bins.)

you are too kind!
