Between the Cadences

They come,
They go.
We arrive,
We depart.

When time is condensed,
and we see it all
in 20 seconds,

We feel like we have
lost all semblance of
autonomy.

As time-lapse
reveals
a cadence

over which we appear to have
very
little
control.

Or is that just a trick
of
the
lens

With so much more
going on
outside the
frame?

There,
perhaps we have choices
which will make
all the difference

Between the cadences.
