We Can All Be Time Travelers

jet lag is a cliché

just a chance to relive

the last eight or so hours

in a new reality you have

passed through so easily

this time created by

you and I but not you and I

but ancient you’s and I’s

and we can relive it

just like them and

there is immortality in it

you can do it with vodka

sure as many shots

or a plane

we can all be time travelers

warping our own narratives

to fit our destinations rhythm

if we know it

and it may all seem petty

when you emerge from

whatever portal into a

a different composition

but now you have done

what few can ever accomplish

you have lived a days hours

more than once and you

are a god amongst this throng
