terminal velocity

there's a hole, a space, a gap in the timeline
what comes before, and what's aftermath
and the middle --
what's in the middle might be better left alone

desire and shun, or shun and despair
tough decisions will touch heavy on feelings
pricey information -
could be it's withheld to save all some grief

so decisions are made, and the gap remains
still minds are surprised when they jump there (they're sent tumbling)
cursing thoughts, recursing thoughts
again and again on the verge of a breakthrough
