Warrior Against Time

"One who does not think about the future
Has no future."

Would that clockworks
Would not chide
Nor that chimes
Hurry-go-round
But gently reach out
Like a mother to child
But watch out
For the tarnished twins of Time
Centrifuge Time's egocentricity
Would that I had foreseen
Would things better have been
No, no
So unwind the bored squiggles
Of the arcane Time Keeper
Forever

I have never been
A meteor that nose-dives
To collide with destiny
For its path, written on its feet
Is the only thing that subsists
The only time it exists
Yet in death it foolishly persists
And it does not heed
Where it heads in heat
Into the friction and the fray
Of foreseen
Into the thick airs
Of speed

Dressed to kill, I unfetter
Hours together
Sword of so-many-words
At Time's throat cast
Ungifted to me by prophets
And poets past
Who mistook my words
For their own patter
Own patter

I carry myself away
Dressed to kill
In defiance
Of Time's Quixotic mill
And in my own cold steel
I twist
My own egocentric fist

I dead reckon
Every second
Trace Her every tremble, every tremor
For I'm a subvert King Cobra
No time-server
Mock-dancing to the tunes
Of the Charmer
Following Her
Every sinuous move
Looking for a chance
To strike through
Becoming the Moment of This
Her nemesis

The Unsame, I am I
I dare defy

"One who does not think about the future
Has no future."
Is that what I said
Five minutes ago
Who dare deify
The Dissident
Is Here and Now
The Dissident
Is Here and Here
And Time is nowhere

And Time is nowhere

The Unsame, I am I
I dare defy

The Unsame, I am I
I dare defy

"One who does not think about the future
Has no future."
Is that what I said
Five minutes ago
Who dare deify
The Dissident
Is Here and Now
The Dissident
Is Now and Here
And now Time is nowhere
The Unsame, I am I
I dare defy

The Unsame, I am I
I dare defy

The Unsame, I am I
I dare defy
