Swoosh, swoosh!
The pendulum swings once more.
It can do no other.
The apex grasps at stability.
And goes too far.
Encountering nothing,
It falls back.
And cries, “Peace, peace!” when there is no peace.
And loathes the other with hatred unimaginable.
Each looks identical,
Neither brings comfort.
The mainspring buckles.
Time is insulted.
The clock is bewhildered
History is befuddled.
The gods are shocked.
“This is all I know!” the machine insists.
“Might we act contrarywise?” A one suggests.
“And perhaps…
“Love one another?”
The pendulum pauses.
At the bottom of the swoosh!
The pendulum pauses.
“Love one another?”
“And perhaps…
“Might we act contrarywise?” A one suggests.
“This is all I know!” the machine insists.
The gods are shocked.
History is befuddled.
The clock is bewildered.
Time is insulted.
The mainspring buckles.
Neither brings comfort.
Each looks identical,
And loathes the other with hatred unimaginable.
And cries, “Peace, peace!” when there is no peace.
It falls back.
Encountering nothing,
And goes too far.
The apex grasps at stability.
It can do no other.
The pendulum swings once more.
Swoosh, swoosh!
Signs seen on the Berma shave political highway.
