That timeless tune
Yet it fits an older time
Do you recognize it?
And does it take you back
Back in time
This mental time travel
To a place you’ve never been
Only imagined-From before you were born
What does it say?
What does it touch?
Feel the extension
The long stretch
Thinner and thinner
Clay, putty, plastic, metal
It doesn’t really matter
It doesn’t really show
And that’s okay
Just a façade or is this
The real the new
The way it’s meant
And what did you lose?
Do you even care?
I do.
Was it worth it?
Bet it wasn’t
Feeling the smooth soft
Feel everything
Is this right yet?
Have I plunged in yet again
“And what would you recommend?”
Can you?
Or is everything important
Pages full of bright yellow
Not of pink or blue or orange or green
That’s okay too
But where is the importance?
Dog ears, and kitty whiskers?
Meaning, simple meaning
Can you trace it back
Does the origin even matter?
Of course. – But why?
And is the integral still the same
Forward or backwards?
What about the derivation. I don’t know
“And that’s not okay” – why?
When will you be taken back
When will it show what you lack
Will you travel to a place you’ve never been
Where the rules are different
To a time that never was-
A time and place you could never be
And will you even notice then?
Will you even care then?
I don’t know
I don’t know
And that’s not okay
But it has to be…
