Cave Painting Revisited

Ever met a Time Traveler?
I know a few
They tend to stick around
It’s not like the movies
No flux capacitors
No phone booths
They use other parts
Hopes and hand motions
Pigments and prose
Pens and poses
Impressions and pains
Damnations and prayers…
Portals
Flowing forward and back
Repeating
Repeating
Repeating
Repeating
Etc
They aren’t trying to travel
Just trying to see
Tripping in the darkness
Feeling the texture
Timeless and infinite
And falling in
Like my buddy Walt
Watching the Brooklyn Ferry
Falling forever
Into the distant future

-T. Weeks
(A response to “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry”)
