the force of time

as long as strange things have not been mentioned by name
they seem unreal
as long as no one has heard of them
it is easy to deny them

when everything has been prepared however,
when everything has been planned and pinned down,
when the switch has been flipped over
there is nothing that can hold the force back

years ago, I started a whole new process -
the time, the grating grinding polishing time
now takes over from me

I am curious to see what it will produce
