Progress.

No path, nor romantic poet's winding stair,

just festering slope down to where

the tottering piles and pyres

and lakes of noxious slime

pooling in desert

will shortly be – and there 

in due or undue course

forget forgetting, forgo forgoing,

deny denying,


and, staggering past the treadless tyres,

and the endless slashing, mowing,

follow the faded peach-petals (plastic)

up the sewer of night fantastic

back to the whining end of amputated time.

There is mathematical time (we live in) but time is a duration. Probably this human invention was to make things not fall all at once. They still do fall all at once. As Lithuanian proverb says that the Trouble never walks alone.
