About the World From the World To the World Within the World

Alice Munro says, "the past
Needs to be approached
From a distance," which makes sense

To me, for whom time
Is the only dimension
And who always needs

To change more to imagine
Anything has changed,
Anything ever was there.

Whenever folks write
Of the annihilation
Of time or distance

By faster transportations,
Instantaneous
Communications, I grin.

Ratios of change
Are always changing, that's all,
As is change itself.

You can't annihilate change
By increasing change,
And distance is its offspring.
