Things may appear closer
When looked at up close
Also as seen in the right hand mirror
On a left hand drive car
Or so the stencil says
When trying to look at the point of a pin
Observe from a safe distance
Or from behind the safety of glass optics
Otherwise the first warning that you are too close
Will come when that pin
Goes in
As the car grows closer
The doppler effect plays heck with the sound waves
Drawing them slowly up on you
Then crashing them in a wave suddenly
Its just one of those things
Like the ship that is on the horizon
On a calm and quiet morning
When the sound is carried quite nicely
And the rhythmic chuff and chug of it's engines
Can be heard as a strong background sound
Though it's misleading
Just close your eyes if you don't believe me
Your ears will guess the ship's position
About a quarter mile behind
Where it actually appears
Such are larger things as well
Appearing closer
Though very far away
Like an apple on the horizon
Ripe for you to pick
The Super Moon
Has come to play
