annual transformations
stranger is the night on halloween eve
like a mad scientist creating in the lab
saving face from an alien race
growing wings like a common housefly
aspiring to be an angel for one sad girl
laughing quietly behind closed door
time travelers get lost exploring
mountains or underground tunnels
designed to keep you trapped inside
spherically-shaped revolving objects
nothing to hide and everything to gain
he loses himself beneath her skin
stealing mind and body and soul
invisible wires tied to extremities
october two thousand sixteen

I can’t begin to tell you how this resonates. I have had more than one conversation about time travel lately with friends.
thank you for sharing your thoughts…time travel is certainly a compelling proposition….
