<BR>
but i seldom expose myself.
<BR>
the process of decompression
<BR>
requires the analgesic caffeine
<BR>
and an internal review,
<BR>
a debriefing, if you like,
<BR>
an echo in the head, but
<BR>
doppler said it should diminish
<BR>
with distance;
<BR>
mine, growing louder with passing time,
<BR>
bucks the trend.
<BR>
<BR>
take this as my will,
<BR>
i expose myself too often.
<BR>
words in head past lips
<BR>
cannot be easily retrieved.
<BR>
if i could only move past the
<BR>
outmoded technology of
<BR>
speech between humans
<BR>
i could carefully edit each
<BR>
exchange so that, in the end,
<BR>
absolutely nothing was said.
<BR>
then i would be free.
<BR>
<BR>
the doppler shift works on humans
<BR>
as well as sounds, air, and light;
<BR>
the initial impact is quite great,
<BR>
the resulting and subsequent encounters
<BR>
have less and less effect, until
<BR>
the impression anneals to a point
<BR>
where it is not easily changed.
<BR>
the goal is obviously to meet someone
<BR>
at approximately 741 miles per hour
<BR>
and never see them again;
<BR>
then they will think fondly of you forever.
