Constant Rate

Tapping from beyond the experience
To be living
In an endless universe
Constant rattle
Slow to human ears
Unknowingly spinning
At a fast rate
Human time
Human experience
Losing touch
The one gift
That is broken
And handed to us
By the preservers
Knew the constant tap
The beat they kept alive
Spreading faster, beeping faster
Time's running out, gone forever
Tilt the hourglass or should I say
Silo - Unmoved creation and it's
Sliding, sliding so slowly, unnoticed
Sticky but still moving, sickening slope
Break the canvas and start over again
Smell that? That's the time and rhythm
Passed down from our noble ancestors
To be living in an endless universe
