time machine by A.H. Lewis
To go back to any place in
If I could choose, I would go back to a
Maybe to the dinosaurs, but not
the hum of nothingness,
to see nature in her most exquisite
To see the planet in its truest greens and
to hear the sighs of the mountains
I want to feel the insignificance of being
Time is the god to which everyone refers,
the one so vehemently feared and
Remind me, then, Time, with this machine of yours—
show me how merciless you truly are.
