For now
you are below
mere nano seconds,
all the swimmers seeking dock sites;
billions in one giant current
we did not know was there.
Then we must be talking illusions
if change and time are both the same.
Like flowers, the same as flour
resulting in pies erupting with blackbirds.
Change that took no time at all.
If reversed we have a true fact.
The mind with the speed of light
demolished the birds with
flour on their tails and flowers
pecked at the earth.
Poor old Pangloss loved changes.
Like Leibniz proclaiming this
the best of all possible worlds
but he didn’t believe a word
and you see how he suffered,
resigned to cultivate numerous flowers
in his own disillusioned garden. |
