Eternal Return Poems

A pair of poems concerning the eternal return.


The Eternal Return



... What if i told you you've read this before?
Pretend for a while that it's not absurd
That for now and ever more
You'll eternally return to read these words?

Holster reserve, for this new learning curve
Has a peculiar force on the nerve;
It has as much puzzle as it has resolve;
But given enough time your mind will evolve

To ask

What is the distance between nows and agains?
         (this thought causes such strain on our brains)

If you don't know the answer then to you it I give:
It's equal to the number of years that you live ...

The eternal return part II: Haiku


...Welcome back to now.
Once is as good as always;
off you go again!...
