Sitting and spinning

Never,

having sat in this precise spot before Now

I know

others have sat just so Never before.

Free Will-but save yourself

The whole truth and nothing but the truth,
You can't handle the truth-
Truth be told,
If you dare,
I swear on my life
It had all been said before as time and time again repeats itself, this time is different,
as assertion or assumption that the old is new again-this time
there is no way all the way around without seconds-
You've tried before, before the moments meant more than muddled memory of cake,
a building block, an hour glass or year more changes things, dims the lighting while we change
and seek something original before sunset-
Yet nothing new or true has been said yet...
except we still try (and propose)
we still lie (and suppose)
we still die, believing legacy lasts longer than I told you so,
as though the truth shall set you free
to choose
just
one.

Scratching heads, Sniffing tails

Do you remember how it was 

before we found zero?

Everything had value

and volume

that occupied more than space.

Would it be a lie to reminisce 

about the days before we found fire?

Why

it was black and

white Then powerfully portable

to ashen grey 

as it smolders to day.

This is why they burnt everything they

wrote.

Nostradamus was nervous,

rightly so, paranoia will destroy 

any weak one in its path.

Have you considered what was 

eerie to Einstein should stay 

Unknown, no?

Theoretically,

the words slept green and furious

and letters 

stopped coming...

There was nothing before-

Us, the Big Bang, the Virgin Mary,

a flaring forth, why 

is the sky blue-again?

Truth be told,

matters only

in youth. 

And then the missing link

before Us.

The radiant sun, 

lights the night and moon

in twirling moods, the pi spinning

itself in dark matters,

starlight never seemed

so bright and worth while...
