The Man Out of Time
by Austin W Lynds
Or,
Sir Clarence the 5th
Step by step
Does he wade the River.
Ethereal waves of glowing wisps of possibility,
Each leading into a stream of moments, dancing, winding, aging linearly.
Time carries her elusive waves with dignity and an unapologetic authenticity.
He respects her for it,
The man with wit sharp as bladed steel.
A mind as relentless as a storm,
And a heart as weary as weathered gold.
The man in black and silver,
Top hat adorned, cane in hand,
He steps with purpose and grace,
Watching the cobblestones age before him.
As the endless river carries and erodes all,
He remains.
Endless, like her.
He who slayed one monster,
And apologizes for another.
How very British.
