Kinetic Writing
I have run across Kinetic Art again recently and it made me wonder about the possibility of kinetics being applied to the written art form. In the visual arts it is not so much about a "moving" picture or words like in film media, but about the illusion generated by the movement of the viewer around a static artwork. Could this be done with poetry or prose? Enter an attempt if you like :)

move with the waves

the water grabs my hands

and pulls me underneath it's large body

my lungs fill with salt and copper

it anchors around me

yanks me further in

is it falling if i am surrounded?

is it dying if i am held?

i must be simply floating down

until the waves spat me onto

the sand

i am no longer swaying in the sea. it no longer yearns for me
