I remembered to change the hour
over daylight savings, even if I wasn’t
counting these hours, these changes.
I remember with a precision, even if it
seems stale to remind one’s self of a
change that’s humdrum, like lights on
a street so many, that the passing cars
take their brightness for granted. There is
no such routine in my time though, because
I stand outside it; like an unruly child turned
out of the class to confront his own scapegrace
deviance, to fall out with the world. If you think
I shouldn’t break ranks…I must let you know
that I didn’t perform the scaleboard for nothing,
when I was the image of God itself, sequestered
because you binged on a moral science that was
as queer to my Godhood as the seafloor to a sky-
scraping mountain peak. I didn’t panic to find my
existence broken to bits by the ribaldry of your ongoing
discourse such that even my heroes were laid to waste by
treachery! I am about to tell you my heritage is so
entrenched that I will never edict the matrimony of the
wicked in the cathedrals of my Universe, even if they
blatantly perform their orgies to sacrilege my edifices!
If you all can conjure the defeat of everything God
holds dear with your libel and slander and relentless
pursuit of infamy, because you hold the consignments
with evil dear, I am wont to swear that however
wearisome my task is, I will continue to chastise you
and enervate your victories, because even in every
victory you celebrate against me, you will be reminded
that you will be driven to utter desperation by my deathlessness!
