DEAD RECKONING

DEAD RECKONING

just a flash
a photon of
light

could be a
wave could
be a
particle

my eyes
not exactly twin
slits
   so why
should I give a fuck
if every
experiment goes paradox

flicker
   in the void
     not even

to even be
that would be
blown out
of all proportion

and no night
       spent with you to
posit
  as my salvation

unless my sense
of true dead reckoning
is thing
     absolutely wrong
or only valid
between the hours
on weekdays
nine to
five
or when the temperature sticks
at absolute zero

and truth be told
much red wine in my system
I however it is
construed, whatever
angle
is taken

I have been waiting all along
in my most
    chaotic of configurations
perhaps when
you do
    hourglass it

from the light this candle
beginning of time
should
    time have a beginning
if it
make any sense at all
