All great creative storytellers know,
As you do, Adams, Asimov, and Wells,
The time machine was built so long ago
Expression chassis, tonal power cells,
The primary engine, sending us with word,
As you do, Adams, Asimov, and Wells
The second engine, flashback, and a third
—portend, exhausts each piston-fired clue,
The primary engine, sending us with word
The epoch steering, future or review,
Remember back, or forward fantasy
Portend exhausts each piston-fired clue
Captain Imagine, Wingman Memory,
With engines run on image, tone, and phrase,
Remember back, or forward fantasy
Like Atwood, Pratchett, Liu, and Philip K,
All great creative storytellers know,
With engines run on image, tone, and phrase,
The time machine was built so long ago

A love letter to Douglas Adams, Isaac Asimov, HG Wells, Margaret Atwood, Terry Pratchett, Liu Cixin, and Philip K **** as a terzanelle. Well, that was a sentence I never thought I'd write...
