Anthemic Lullaby

The Fall

Z: From the third quarter we begin!

B: But I only know the start by the time it is gone.

Z:The page is starting for us, so we end up ahead is my rationale.

B: Ahead, my head outlines my eyes, and that separateness is reading.

Z: Separated like the quarters of the piece!

B: Yes, one block of time after another. I am in the block ahead.

Z: But therefore you are in the block behind.

B: Precisely, the truth and the present unravel their threads on different spools.

Z: The back and forth of parallel rhythms.

B: But you need both rhythms for the groove, the groove we are getting into.

Z: You compose reading from a dream.

B: Dreams are thrown, hearing catches, reading grabs.

Z: To grab you must throw your arm.

B: Composing my interpretation for myself.

Z: Well it is yours.

B Who am I?

Z: Body and mind.

B: Who are you?

Z: The spool of truth.

B: How do you know?

Z: I hold the whole, which is why I can divide it into quarters.

B: Then why start at the third quarter?

Z: Because the truth is present, and this is where you are at.

B: I am ahead of the beginning but before the end?

Z: Present, like me?

B: But shifting.

Z: Yet I am eternal.

B Eternity falls when spoken it seems.
