TIME, TIDE, DRAW NO IRONY TRAP - WORDED ART WAS EVER, EVEN NOW, REVEL LIVED. LAUD LIT MUSE, SUNG IS ODE, RARE PART, SIR. WE DO COIL OF MEGA TIME-SPAN SPOOL, EDIT SAGA, LIVE ON, EYE NO EVIL, A GAS TIDE LOOPS, NAPS EMIT A GEM FOLIO CODE, WRIST RAP, ERA REDO, SIGN, USE SUM TIL DUAL DEVIL LEVER WON. NEVER EVE SAW TRADED ROW. PARTY, NOR I, ONWARD EDIT, EMIT. Time spins headlong, helter-skelter, alpha omega its hum, Innate energy refocussed, - hocus-pocus drawing blind, - Merging, surging, fresh emerging each dimension is assigned Extra frequencies as harmonies seek equilibrium. Thrust of course is force attraction once contraction’s overcome - If upset the great equation’s recreated, recombined, Musters flux, reflux ethereal, in many ways declined - Echo-systems spectra spectral, strata senses tuned as one. Time together birds of feather nests, two tendering four more In addition for perdition they’re included in Life’s count, Marking more for Death to tally, soon all rally scaffold mount, – Ever higher populations soar, regenerating core. Tortoise Time of able fable, snide greed, pride, speed, overcome - Is it justice ? Is it balance ? Those ahead soon d[r]ead behind, Making room through swift disposals for proposals less confined, Express need for further testing, - jesting, questing, inquest dumb. Time, both tempter and preemptor, auctions choices bubble-gum Into emptiness exploding, voices vacuum Lethe-lined, Mirage are Man’s sojourn dreams it seems, all who thereon have dined Entertain tall expectations rich which stumble, tumble numb. Time mutates when necessary, very speedily translates Into viral spiral gyral splicing, tip top icing cake, Monkey to man was plan began some take as grave mistake Enterprising Time, downsizing, soon induces second state That leads into more selection until all that came before Isolate in microclimate dwindles into history, Mocking once again of mice and men eternal mystery - ‘Ergo cogito’ no guarantee can offer ‘sum’ in store. Time destroys its own foundations reconstructs by rule of thumb, - Intuition tunes to pattern ducts intelligence designed. Mankind must press forwards quickly or its mainspring may unwind, Ever onward, tripping, hasty, vicious forward spiral-scrum. Time, true master of new master, swift may slave of slave become, In a twinkling of an eyelid, with an inkling of the mind, - Most by wayside fall, and falling fail to rise, we seldom find Each with grief reach silver lining welcome, wheel spins go and come. Time, prestidigitator, spurns prestige, turns cycle score Into room for rust when boom goes bust, to tomb entrusts the great – Meek may seek to rise through wise disguise but dies that spin their fate Enter on examination predetermination’s maw. Through the needle wheedle riddle evolution in its drawer Issues ready, choosy, steady, to new factors integrate, Measures leisure pleasure treasured as a wide tide open gate - Exit species flooded by fresh blooded budded to explore Timely opportunities to tease priorities to draw Instant conclusions from confusions which did decimate Multitudes through feuds or manners rude to war or conjugate, - Efforts vain again are sanctionned by Time’s roar none can ignore. Time, an excellent musician, is tradition’s drummer, drum, Is clay pot and playful potter, Future’s watch and spring to wind, Mocking mortals’ puny portals, while the motives of mankind Echo ego phase or fashion, - love, hate, passion, - blink sink - done. Time has season, Time has reason keys, on much remaining mum, In on Cause~Effect directions caught in matrix intertwined, Minds not evanescent effervescent reassurance blind - Each vibration rings strange changing strings recalculating sum. Though if sum itself is dumb then all conclusions drawn are rum Interjections on Time’s sections, out of kilter, misaligned, Much in golden braid internal, waits eternal, underlined Ever by infernal pace we race to trace out space to plumb. Time, the predator and dater, turns the bread of life to crumb, Ices in a trice Life’s waters, hopes as halters redefined; Magician fly, man hard may try, - high pyramids remind Each our power, pomp pain hour stomp, vain flowers fast succumb. Time, no evil knows, coeval is with all, withal is none, Irons endings through beginnings as each innings is inclined Mutating – no postdating - wicketwards in double bind, - Essence waxes, wanes, through axis, planes, yet what explains its run ? Tempus fugit – Time is flying – soon we’re lying in the dust, Is it dying ? Is it buying time ? – another turn to try ? Many look to book for second look, replacing painful cry, Even though high odds against them lie when wake they take on trust. These swift stanzas hold no moral, no bonanzas bold, no plum Inspiring plan licks Time’s trick wick untiring, predesigned , - Mirage tidal suicidal, bridle, bridal counter signed ? – Egg and chicken plots see thicken as we quicken final strum ... 30 April 2005 Life : A finite succession of infinite opportunities |

"Time, true master of new master, swift may slave of slave become, In a twinkling of an eyelid, with an inkling of the mind, - Most by wayside fall, and falling fail to rise, we seldom find Each with grief reach silver lining welcome, wheel spins go and come." wow... this is so cool! ![]() Welcome to Pip!! |
