Continuum

Hanging upon every word
is another and then
another after that
until there is a grand scheme
of is.
The past has dalliance
with the future
through the intercourse of now
in these hanging, looping
bits of slipstream time,
a curious scaffolding,
a rolling patchwork quilt
made for Einstein
and his bending and folding,
the continuum for our kind
that must, like a trapeze artist,
grab hold and swing
you and me
from one minute
to the next.
There is no beginning.
There is no end.
We are spliced
into cunning creation
for a limited Broadway run
when we step upon the stage
to recite a line or two of text.
