Idiorrhythmy

Idiorrhythmy

Chad Bennett

First, there was faith -- 

                                   how a terrestrial 

body pulled by the force of 

 attraction toward 

                           earth's molten center 

 nonetheless hung willing 

from a fixed point. 

Second, desire --

                           how such a body in 

and through motion could acquire a trapped 

 arc of momentum ... 

                                   Then 

 I was born; some god 

set this pendulum going 

                                    inside me.
