this statement is false
the first line is true
the second line is true, too
the third line is false
all preceding lines,
all are neither true nor false,
only wastes of time
memory is Past
imagination, Future
and measuring: Now
Is there any darkness left
Inside the geodes?
Has anything gone unscanned?
fingers through my hair
skin chills ripple up my spine
getting a haircut
my hourglass holds
one grain of sand for telling
the present moment
two hundred thousand
hours spent meditating
and nothing’s happening
If I live until
2089, then
I’ll turn 100
.
In a century
We’ll all be one century
Old. Not much longer
.
If I live until
2089, fly
Magicicadas
ery of mist
eyrie of mystery
of mysteries of
Ask if your action
Will benefit the mountain
Ask time how it feels
the core of the earth
churns like the DNA at
the heart of my claim
