Revelation

 

Something is wrong.

Something’s dreadfully wrong.

Something is so catastrophically unbalanced

that unless you act very quickly all will be lost.

Say it aloud.

 

It’s too late.

What you know cannot be unknown.

The ground

offers anticipatory tremblings

and the olive trees have dropped their flowers unfruited.

Who is saying this you ask.

A voice inside the wall.

Hurry, act quickly without regard for consequences.

You have no alternative.

It will come

In a matter of seconds or a matter of years;

Have you used time

so effectively

that

it

matters?
