    Duel in slow time

    Posted by Charles Cameron on April 1st, 2011 (All posts by )

    [ by Charles Cameron — cross-posted from Zenpundit ]

    In slomo –
    .
    as in the slow rotating
    backseat of a hurtling flipping car –
    .
    at that most divine of speeds at which
    concentration arrives and
    all is revealed –
    .
    as when Krishna himself bears
    each arrow loosed from his
    left-handed archer Arjuna’s drawn bow
    to some fine warrior’s
    .
    doom
    .
    we see: all contest is
    cooperation,
    each edged duel, a true duet…
