Time is neither enemy nor friend, false or true.
\nShe\u2019s what we came for and left behind, all at once.
\nBut once is twice, and three becomes four more.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t believe her, arrows, lines, trajectories, and horizons,
\nExes and why\u2019s, yesterdays and good byes, marital vows
\nAll time passers and lies to the one true word, the eternal wink.
\nI\u2019ve felt her fancy inside my third eye, my one true love\u2019s belly.<\/p>\n
Yet here I sit, fingers to screen, turning make believe dials,
\nFlipping numbers like pancakes to the sky that never return,
\nThese ones and zeroes of the minds far greater than mine.
\nI count words and seconds as if, although, and despite it all.
\nThe continuum tires of our tedious accountings and ledgers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
