for just one moment
everything
in the universe
just simultaneously
decided to

stop

it all hung
suspended
in a stupor
as the laws
of fundamental physics

ceased

in that moment
all
that filled
my head
was

you

then
in a rush
the symptoms
of the universe
came rushing back into

focus

yet
i didn’t pay any of it
a second glance
because my eyes
had found

perfection

natural laws
physics
reality
all of it was
suddenly

forgotten
