appropriate
raze
this
was
what
you
whispered
after
learning
how
to
wring
more
time
out
of
what
you'd
been
given
.
the
trick
,
you
said
,
was
forcing
an
hour
to
walk
faster
than
it
thought
its
legs
could
make
it
move
.
something
about
the
sudden
increase
in
speed
caused
a
glitch
in
the
guts
of
the
day
,
and
it
bled
more
minutes
from
its
incorporeal
pores.
the
word
wasn't
about
what
we
were
or
what
we
wanted
to
be
.
it
was
said
in
response
to
something
someone
else
had
to
say
.
whatever
inspired
your
wry
commentary
is
gone
now
,
leaving
only
the
shadow
of
your
smile
in
its
wake
.
and
that
seems
appropriate.
