unsolvable physics homework problem 1a.

The distance between my heart and yours
cannot be measured with a ruler.
Sometimes, anything longer than my wingspan is too far.
Other times, neither of us bother to pick up a measuring tape.
A millimeter is the same as a meter is the same as a kilometer.

The time between the last time we had shared a conversation and this current moment
cannot be measured with a clock.
Sometimes, it feels longer than the time in days, hours, months, years.
Other times, it feels like it was just yesterday, this morning even.
Like if I turned around, I’d see you again.

The weight
of your words on my mind
of my words on your mind,
which is heavier?

Too far, too late, too heavy.
Too close, too soon, too light.
