Time-Traveling Dilema

as though it were forbidden,
to enter certain thoughts
and feelings of size

you must find,
someone who corresponds
to your exact perception of depths

someone in that other time,
or someone, farther than light, elsewhere;
you must attach and borrow their momentum

otherwise it will feel complexingly,
as being an adult suddenly turned child
or a human turned suddenly animal,

and you may lose the persuasion to return

how you do this
i do not yet know,
but there are ways to try

there will be hurdles to surpass:
that every reality is nonsense,
that the body has rules and would die

but i’m certain you will find them,
i’m certain there will be those as mirrors,
those as the protection of your own thoughts

i’m certain there will be a Remembrance,
to bring you back to yourself,
the one you started with.
