Short-Timer

Turn about me, Spinning Wheel
Clock your gears on the axle of Time
Two plus two and then take away nine
Childish dream, the perpetual thing
A fairy-tooth goblin


Take a dive in the lake of thermodynamics
Twice is right on the money
Nature breaks down what nature built up
In a plan that no one is planning


Hazard a guess in your haphazard dress
Of genetics and codes in a helix
Heart attack, spinal tap, shaky hands, move your feet
In a dance with no music playing


Hurry now, Mr. Dow, in your Research Machine
Hurry now, we are dying
Born to live but a few, Nature must have a feud
With the stuff that makes Men out of Angels
