The Flywheel Effect

Feel like the flywheel spinning
         wasted energy
my angular momentum
meant to capture this awkward
throbbing in my heart
         sometimes whirling
at dizzying speeds
                   and maybe

I'm just an instrument
for you to toy with

wicked gleams in fetching eyes
fool one as silly
who cannot lock onto
         intended targets
all loose from too much action --

just one aspect chained
to the axis
easy to gauge from your vantage
but not for me
to disengage

by the time I get my bearing
         Long you've been away.

Revised 4.6.21

I will give this more thought without directly implying a toy top...e.g.


A flywheel is nothing but a heavy rotating disc attached to a shaft. It rotates along with the shaft. Because of it's large weight, it has large amount of inertia, the property of a body by which it tends to remain in motion unless some other force causes it to stop.

stores the kinetic energy of the initial acceleration and propels the toy after it is released, by forcing the perpetual motor that revolves the kinetic energy.
