The switch.

What time means to me and how for me it is not linear.

 

 

The switch.

 

 

What is it about you that intrudes on my thoughts?

I am riding a steam train that has fire in its belly

Telling me, I am going somewhere fast

Away from the lost laundries of my mother’s land

 

Psychics teaches me there is no one to end the isolation, as entropy runs forward

Yet I keep slipping backwards

Waiting for me to take the right turn

They tell me what I am supposed to be doing with my life

It is not what our Father said

 

Nevertheless, I want to learn

Moreover, you keep intruding on my thoughts

I sing Our Father as I Hail Mary

 

 

The questions of trust are small with you

With others, they are as loud as the moon

 

 

Intrigue awakens my frozen heart

Lights the fire in my belly

Existentialism runs screaming through my every pore

Desperately I want to brake free

Too, jump into the river of my hometown, rather than the murky rivers of this Island

 

The rings of Saturn keep me locked into myself

Mudding the view

I look in the mirror

I do not see me; I see one of my others looking back out from my eyes

Switching comes easy when fear is running through my veins

Who will I recognize if it is not me?

 

The laws of thermodynamics state I cannot exist

The pendulum has me swinging from altered states, triggered by a trick of the light

Thankfully, the holographic theory gives me a chance to stop racing towards that black hole

The arrow of times is supposed to go forward

But now the paradox of the event horizon, which contains all my history

Right from my first big bang that was the birth of my little star, who has shown for me ever since

 

Once I have fallen, into the black hole my entropy decreases and time starts to run backwards

So maybe this time I can go back and change a few things…

Dear ma'am this is such a thought provoking write, I loved the vision you have created here for the reader... There is an amazing flow in the poem with some excellent thoughts and imagery... You have shown some crucial stages of our life and how time runs with them... From the very start the poem holds the reader's mind and makes him think of his point of view through this poem... I really like the concept of this work which reflects your experience of life and also with poetry... This was very beautiful...

Sincerely
