a snapshot of jumpers in mid-air leap

a snapshot of jumpers in mid-air leap
an object momentarily paused 
before falling back to earth
the dark side of the moon whipped around
space mission half complete
it is so unlike an empty bowl 
important nothing there
a runaway locomotive down an incline
or coming down from a high on dope
not the journey more than the destination 
or working months for a one week vacation
boomerang reaching its tossed return
solar solstice that cannot be undone
vinyl 'b' sides that CD's made obsolete
winter break's end that students hate
August first with summer half gone
a marriage that goes through the motion
when love has flown
and the family is broken
a frog prince transition by magical potion
falling action after the novel climax
a card mailed to a friend
a package tracked after it is sent
snapped plastic crackle when too far bent
renewal of spring after winter
autumn after summer
winding and unwinding the mind
eyesight that comes to the hopelessly blind
a thought never thought of until the end
the surprise awaiting you around the bend
