If you do not step in the right places

--

they say

speed
up
the
paces

but do not go looking
for familiar faces
figure it out

figure

it

out

but the math is all wrong
x does not equal x
but some other number
that only exists

out

of

time

and

in

no

spaces

so can you even tell
if you have ever existed

there
