Ode to Time

Oh Time!
You primordial bitch,
How I have consumed
To forget you,
The aesthetic poem,
The structured verse
The artistic imperative,
My devotion
To a playground game
Designed for laughter.
And through it all,
Your trepid breath
Upon my neck,
An echo of dusk,
Your cycle of mockery.
Oh Time!
You primordial bitch,
You spurned me then,
I’ll spurn you always.
