A moment takes up no time
A moment takes up no space
Infinite moments disappear instantly
because anything times zero is zero;
Yet
In a moment lives begin
and end
In a moment love blossoms
and dies
and
In a moment
eternities collide
Teaching non-mathematicians about the principles of calculus and this was a result

History recites me poetry by the moonlight
As I light a dozen candles in the wind
And as I hear the words repeated, I start to write
To the sounds of waves and quiet violins

As History has spilled his heart through ancient lines
I take the pieces that connect with me, as mine
And when recited in a slightly different sound
It becomes mine, as the old letters hit the ground

One by one the letters spill out in a new alphabet
Creating words in ways that history has never met
And as I sing my song so loudly, I rip a hole in outer space
While the noise is quickly echoing from the black holes on my face

Tearing open all the skies as my brand new words now ring
Turning History into a washed up hack
I am approached by the past years as I bellow out and sing
As History begs for all of his attention back

— The End —
