Better Now Than Never
My youth affords me little time.

At least, a healthy face i’ll have in death
When you look in my direction.

For my own reflection
In the darkness of his eye.

I log out,
turn off
And, like a dog,
learn to hold
My leash in my mouth
Cogs
The God-cog turns
The Sun-cog shines

The Moon-cog wanes
The Sea-cog waves
The Breeze-cog blows
The Tree-cog leans
The Bee-cogs flit
The Bird-cogs fly
And you and I, The cogs of we, Interlock our brittle teeth
And help each other Unwind. The God-cog turns…
