-The twilight zone-

The crazy mathematics goes this way:

If two locomotives approach each other on the same track

But only close the distance by half, then half of that,

Then half again and so on, the locomotives will never collide.

Two young women held hands.

A man clasped his hands behind his head

To cradle it from impact.

The "Windows On The World" busboy made a parachute

Of his smoldering shirt and stopwatches were locked

At eleven seconds.

Had the fallen closed the distance by half, then half of that,

Then half again and so on,––

Had the two young women holding hands applied

The benefit of this calculus to this day they’d be falling.
