A PHYSICS LESSONIn twelve ways we know the distance to the sun but the earth turnsslowly and we have little perception. And it is not as if I want to lose the memory of you but rather I wish to forget who you are now. It is that finite point, like the place where the river becomes the sea. That point in time where the knowing and the losing are the same. Copyright 2000, Todd Sanders
