Question of Time

                Questions we'd asked before...

Questions from BEFORE?
Can we keep the score
Of LAST versus NEXT,
Of FUTURE and TEXT,
As we pry the core,
Still delving for more
Of dizzying ore
From wind, earth, and shine…?
The wine – thine or mine? –
The quest in the mind,
Are one, intertwined.
Think you we’ll unwind
The FIRST – from the END?
– To me your roads bend,
Do! Speak face to face,
Lace, pace, tender grace…
Until TIME should snore,
Its snarl by the door,
The topic, abhorred,
Forever a bore,
Its chains on the floor.
