Time for Lunch

 time's linearity is real
and so is imagined timelessness
the permanence of this moment
dissolved in the naming
 
degeneration not only macular
I can barely see enough to think
 
this is a bonus hour
Julian reading u postponed
allowing me an extra nap
extra window to absorb ideas
 
David Cole quotes Dostoevsky
I open a new document in Word
everything is proper or branded
i.e. seared into flesh forever
letters jump together into words
like iron filings over a magnet
just before it's time for lunch
 
time lurches on in ticks
and dashes for the toilet
we come together on a higher plane
