time is the abyss, the bridge, the long fall
time is the staunch resistance to now
time is a lagging indicator
measured cold new
grows old waiting for time
to catch up and still
no one understood
what Heisenberg meant
those 2.6 billion moments ago,
on a trajectory mocking the arc
of the crow,
. nothing
upon nothing below
