Time Traveling Blues:

What's Next?

 

4 am:

Walking

Home

I saw a man

Half in a yard/ Half on the corner

Under the street light

 

Classic like in the movies:

There was a flash and He was gone

 

And, I thought

"Again."

 

Instant thought:

"He's disappeared before/ He's gone again."

 

Going back to say he saw me:

"What's He doing walking home so late?"

"Where's He think He's going?"

Then:

I think

"He could probably tell the story of what happened better than me."

 

Then:

I think

"Is He Me?"

 

I kept walking

 

I kept on

 

Wondering about the Disappearing Man

 

And, that's when I saw The U.F.O.

 

4:04 am

He said:

"We are the speed of vision

Behind the actual event

Of living."

 

He said:

"That's pretty close."

 

He said:

"It doesn't feel like we need to catch-up."

 

He said:

"The space between The Happening and Our Arrival is Poetry."

 

He said:

"That's bull."
