so what did i see in the machine — in twelve years time?
I was upset
we were estranged
and some fault was mine
had to speak my mind at the perfect time
now, presently placed, I can erase
I can hit undo
I can reset
I can restore
make the world anew
I can reset time
take us back to fine
with a well placed line
though i think there’s a force against me
pushing back, like the timeline is sensing
it’s so
and every time that i straighten the record
a new argument springs to life from the ether
it’s so strange to me
can it be that our fates are both sealed?
that the power you gave is a false one to wield?
and if so, it affirms my fear
whatever path i clear
only buys us years
so what can i do
living now with truth —
time won’t yield or bend?
each moment we pass
inches forward to the last resolutions end?
maybe get on fine
live in my own time
celebrate what’s mine
