I'm looking at a photograph

 

three boys who are

 

three beings in motion

 

and focussed, centered

 

on a middle point which is a ball

 

which is a point directly behind the ball,

 

the fence, the sea, the ship -

 

distant, passing by, but not moving.

 

The boys, the ball, the ship

 

are all in perfect balance, full of motion,

 

but not moving.

 

The colors, the shades of white silver grey blue,

 

are part of this same motionless movement.

 

 

 

and this sense of still motion

 

is this kind of abstract longing

 

to continue the motion while remaining still, silent.

 

A philosophical desire

 

for the impossible simultaneousness

 

of motion and stasis

 

of unmeasurable change.
