Time's Affliction
absence eventually,
a broken infinity,
no time,
Nothing.
Fleeing physical law
cannot end matter.
myself, defeated,
will sit here and do nothing.
youth can forget
broken youth
to the uncertain
somewhere that
lies beyond perception.
our life’s last construct,
the Oasis,
Is meaningless
if we are Seeking
the top of the world
and not Seeking the
I
of past And future
