time signature
in cut time, whole is felt in half
a beat is trapped in the warmth of stage light
at the toe of freshly shined shoes
tempo stretches like short strings of chewing gum under a shoe
in cut time, the rhythm compresses around time's vacancy
before resonance catches at the breath mark,
the next measure fills it
the mapping of transposing experience reminds me:
it takes two for dynamics,
they pull into one another to sound whole
