Are you still writing songs
about Jesus Christ and other subjects you know nearly nothing about?
An entire generation that has never felt the atmosphere closing in on them but they have been told their whole life that it is bound to happen,
, approaches the event horizon with such indifference.
At home everything is spinning in perfect [opposite] unison
counterclockwise and clockwise and every which way your mind has designated itself to spin.
Time is merciless but it will always remind you of that.
At least I had a few chances to pause
before the clocks disintegrated all their parts
each gear
unlocked from interlocking.
Even in your succinct &breathless ways
I was dissipating endlessly into the grand consciousness.
No longer complicit in aural atrophy
or using words such as "you" or "I"
or brushing hair
or thinking before speaking
or a reversal of the two
or remembering which parts of the machine are sharp and hot.
It is possible to live without these things and the time that enables them.
