Curved

time moves forward
along curved space,

life lays down rules
by which we must die,
the past emerges with
the future to create
its present conditions,
and our environment
loses its opportunity
to evolve without
mutations unless it
no longer involves
mankind's legacies;
that which we knew
as truth is gone,
replaced by that which
we know to be false,
accepting the predictions
of forecasting as a
means to an end;
we cast out demons
like fishing lines into
the vast ocean of time,
realizing that space
only exists in theory
when time forgets its
current forward nature.
