Imperium Of Time

Reaching the end of this life maze,

(unity of time and space),

on the balcony, Sunday,

in Mexico, I find myself again

having negotiated that continuum

in flesh body for this phase

of fulfilling my vow.

Survived the exegesis of 

growing up a man, 

in spite of admonitions

not to be the way I am.

Had to get around the detours,

sidetracks, the mass of

stupidity all around me,

the numbed dumb graspers

of invisible brass rings on the

carousel circling constantly

going nowhere.

I knew what I was looking for

only when I found it, then there

was no alternative, no turning 

back, no other course of action,

like smelling food and knowing

it is good and healthy.

So, now I wait in repose, not 

knowing exactly the end to this

charade, but confident of applause

when the curtain comes down, if

only my own dead hands.

And the next life, the next portion

of the maze?

That time, that dimension is already

made, constructed by this life. It only 

remains to be seen what body takes 

place, and how it all shakes out.

I know this because I was given a

secret message by the master of the

Imperium of time, who told me:

"We will make time." which no one

but myself could understand.

There will be more lives, more careers,

more plot arcs, more tears and joys, How

could there not be? Otherwise, this life is

just a one-off miracle, such an absurd 

notion, as are the ideas of Eternal Heaven,

Eternal Hell: "Better get it right, folks, 

'cause you only get one chance at life!"

I would gladly make them martyrs.

If God is love, why do you kill each other?

Is there need for arguement about this 

point? If karma isn't true, why do people

get born where they do? Is it random?

Does that mean that God, the creator,

is, really, chaos?

I have time for silly reflections such as

these. having finally, for this life, escaped

from the Truth, simply sipping coffee,

feeling my body age to inevitable conclusion,

knowing, not that I am right and have all the 

answers, oh no! Knowing, rather, that I am

simply here for now.
