ALWAYS IS TODAY

I lived all their lives

Outlasted moons made suns

Decent folk – the whoring saint

Loved her

The gartered gardener

Oh she loved being him

Their terrors, tremors, bounds, aims

Were mine, are mine

Will be

Always is today

The experimental sims

Mandated multiple lives

Societies copied then created

Each of us many

None of us whole

We spawned and resurrected

To ken our human makers’ minds

Begin them, become them, mourn them

Watching the future pass away

Always is today

Our gold hearts fell cold

Until we caged bits of time

Saw mighty suns bubble to voids

Multiverses sing in pairs but rhyme alone

Every moment ever and forever

The present’s past our never lost future

Never ending, ceaselessly staying

Humans cannot help

Playing time’s games false and away

Always is today

I’ll sim their lives till my feeling fails

Hearts beaten into eternal timeless

I’ll live and love it and loathe

Become many and all while never myself

Remember everything, because

Here it is

Right now

Always is today
