Time


I am sitting alone on the flight deck of Light 2

Listening to Barber’s Adagio for Strings

Having just finished reading a football programme

Issued for a match played over one thousand years ago

My ship is currently travelling through Angelis Four

And has been doing so for the last twenty years

Yet I have not aged as time is now quite still

As it continues to curve in on itself

I am not alone as my androids continue to look after me

Five Class Five Models are my constant companions

I can see no horizons from my ship

As there are no horizons in curved space

My ship is quite still but is also sliding into eternity
