time is inexorable and re-aiming is futile

The Arrow

Pass this on
Your daddy’s here
Right here
Always been as above
So below
Always been plucking fingers
Yes, he really played the lute
Thank you

They were engineering
Next best baby
Big headed
And we get more genius
And backstage 
No secret 
In the room for singing labour
A choir of technocrats wait
There’s your future possible
Solar punk

It all gets younger
All of them
Slackers once
Breastfed by a pig in a python 
The milk of an era
The dripping down
Post-war chins
We get it passed on to us
So we can get public, post-national, peace
And pass it on
What I can cannot control
My plucking fingers
Turn to bone
As above so below

And it all gets obsolete 
It all is replacing
Versions of same as above
So below
All of us 
Make a circle
Link weak and watery
And all of us
Bracing at the same time
Bonds us tightly
Infinitely 
Embracing
Let’s make another circle
Unbreaking
