yours truly bobbing in the time stream
impossible mission to escape any weir

the current speeds up at breakneck tear

I beseech thee almighty with my prayer
where blink of eye feels akin to kiloyear

no doubt artificial intelligence will find
a machine to stop and reverse engineer

the linear misnomer cause measuring
passage of seconds, minutes, hours, etc

my debut occurred just in the nick of time.

Obstetricians donned medical accoutrements
and, staked out various strategic read outs
within birthing center. Just as the team members
situated themselves (analogous to baseball players
placed at critical coordinates on the turf),
these medical practitioners arrayed themselves
to cover ground zero. Contingency measures

shuttered within inaccessible dungeon
surrounded by deepest known moat,
within which flourished fearsome beasts

whereby one poker face

wretched soul condemned
to psychological abomination
forbidden to terminate
said despicable mortality,
thus suffers life sentence of
yawping, writhing, unnerving... tumult.

While self-sequestered,
I am not alone realizing
how quickly tempus fugit

So much more energy gets utilized, (no choice, but forced to except senescence) just to complete and carry out ordinary tasks, that frequent naps make necessary to attend basic functions mostly management of household domestic chores (that living in a one bedroom apartment – hoarders buried would envy) carry out secular endeavors such as...scaling mountains of soiled laundry, dodging a landmine of tripping hazards.
