Time is not linear, they say.
But can it go backwards?
Or zig zag, swirl, or whirl
In circles like a clock
With no hands able to point
At infinity's contrived plot
Because we only have now
To question?
Where have all good fortune tellers gone?
It would help so much to know
How the future may flow.
Where are the good clairvoyants
With high skills of divination
To foretell if we're devolving towards damnation
Or will we endlessly postpone our termination
While repeating the same stories
That have always plagued this earth?
Will goodness enjoy rebirth?
Who can tell us what's to come
If? / When? all the maladies are gone.

Nobody can Myrna! It has been shaky and unrevealing. The revelation brings the stark truth and that it may be short-lived

We are repeating the same stories. But I feel we have all had more than enough of the way things are. So much hinges on the coming election if there is to be any hope of change at all.
ReplyDeleteThe present is more than enough for me. Even if I could, I would be afraid to look at the future.
ReplyDeleteStay well, stay safe.
I agree, it would be brilliant to come across a really brilliant fortune teller now. Maybe it is that future is in our hands and it will be what we make it.
ReplyDeletedevolving towards damnation - sure feels that way, not just with the pandemic but everything else that's unravelling.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that lessons are never learnt, Myrna, and even when there are good fortune tellers and clairvoyants, only a few of us listen.
ReplyDeleteWe think thought is creative, but then who is telling us that? Maybe homo sapiens is as grooved as ants, just more thoughtful about it. Wonderful pondering here - Brendan
ReplyDeleteIf and when...those seem to become more and more unknown. Do we even know the correct question to ask?
ReplyDeleteYour depiction of how time feels now is just right.
