BIG BANG THEORY

‘Sorry sir, there is no more room for memories
The past is full up’

Just lately it seems to be turning out that way
Which, when you think of it, must make sense
How much history can be shovelled down one hole
Before it overflows with past events?

And what of the future,
Did it all start with a big bang in the past?
If it’s true, like they say,
How long can the present last?

Before the Expanding Universe swallows
Up all of time?
And nothing more can happen
Because something or other
Has crossed the dividing line

TWO POEMS

UNTITLED

This man’s war’s not fought
With cannonball or shell
This piper plays in places
Where the mind no longer dwells
This piper raises all the rafters
Left in hell

MY TIME

This then is my time;
A ribbon of memories
Stretching back to an age
I can hardly remember
Anymore

With an indeterminate
Number of coils
Still to be unrolled
From a drum
Revolving ever faster as it
Unwinds
