Once you’ve put it into motion
then you just have to keep up
and let it carry you along.

The tough part is
when you want to change directions
after you’ve built up some momentum.

So that you have to
stop the whole system
and spend some time
away from the world
to rebuild the whole machine.

Until you've set it 
into motion once more
and breathe a sigh of relief
as it begins again 
to carry you along.
