what if in fact
there were ever only
two really distinct
individual people
walking around back there
in history's mist?

threefold
the stride of time:
loitering slow,
the future creepeth
arrow-swift; the present
sweepeth and,
motionless forever,
stands the past

and closely-formed
as the Wood --

of all created things to each other
brings it about
that each simple substance
is a perpetual living mirror
of the universe

was perception itself
--
& since the appearance of things
was no longer definitive
but limitless
--
this paradisiacal awareness
freed me from the reality
external to myself

as if you had eight more to give
-- "as you count and reach nine,
you know you are about to make
a new start"
