once upon a nevermind

once upon a nevermind.
(a drunken ranting.)
____________________

once upon a ...
nevermind..

time is irrelevant
when concerning
Timeless Words.

once upon NOW
that will Never end..
I (in the Darkness)
Found myself in the
curious position to
see (with renewed
clarity) the Wheels
of This Machine.

Some called it
Progress. Others..
Sacrilege.

As for myself
(being a godly
devil without a
god or devil other
than my angel self)
I knew it was
just that Whore
Nature playing
her silly pranks...

tricking the apes
into thinking there
was something
transcendent beneath
their chittering frames.

Had I more booze..
I imagine this would
be the moment (NOW)
that I would dispense
with some relatable cliches
to keep you occupied..
but...I am a sober wretch..
God of Temperance,
who misses his drunken
counterpart..

and so I'll continue
with the Realistic
Nonsense in a circular
fashion to show you
this...machine...
how it spins in thee
and encompasses you,
and you are it as it is
you. Indefinitely..
(but quite temporally.)

once upon a...
now...

that only
ends when
the I does..

I.
(ended.)
