Temporal

If I were a disease, if I were an ailment

To be treated and cured by medical remedy

A recollection of leaves, of discarded and forgotten memories

If only amnesia were a choice and Alzheimer's a need

If time were not temporal, but sketched uncomplicatedly at my feet

I would walk and I would travel and I would quickly leave

Charting a course in its entirety, its eternity

beyond history, beyond humanity and beyond me
