Distances

We are the distances between us.

3.78 metres
3 seats across, one seat down.
6.5 miles
10 minute train, turn right at the pub
1.05 metres
Under the table feet hover. Apprehensive.
29 centimetres
Hand on gear stick, knees cross, move closer.
14 centimetres
Awkward air and wide expanse of duvet.
2.3 centimetres
Parted lips pre pounce. Deep breath.

35 kilometres
Voice to radio wave to signal tower. Reflected.
15.6 metres
Far away eyes pretending, avert. 


I've written about 6 poems/ideas for poems today, which is the most in a long time. This is the only idea I really like, because its just a bit different. Maybe it's the maths student in me but I just love using numbers!

Also I don't think my vocabulary is good enough, there was a time when I had a mini book of words, so whenever I heard/read an interesting word, I'd write it down and find its definition. I am going to start doing that again (along with reading many many more books hopefully) now that I have time! Sweet blessed time! Such an alien concept to grasp.

Sadly I just seem to be napping all the time. College is exhausting.
