Bastard Time
Augie March

Nothing gave birth to time

Time has no birthday, no mum no dad

Nobody ever taught time

No social contract, moral code, no good no bad


And in the dirt, in the bottle of our poor atmosphere

The lesson here is never learnt


You feed on dogs bodies, on carcasses of government

You tongue the graft over the grief

Bastard time, you give no relief

But it’s said you give relief


You heal the wound like a crocodile saves its victim for later


What do you love?

Leaves turned, woods burned, ashes then are what you love?

Fraud time, child’s birthday

Spring deceit, brood love

Tiny feet, callous time


You light the womb like a pantomime stage

Give dress to plainness, cake to age


And make us clowns


You heal the wound like a crocodile saves its victim for later


You give the cheeks a rosy hue

As the lips are turning blue

This is the artist in you, bastard time

And you our guide to perpetual suicide

But what makes you sad, what makes you tired?


What says to you as you’re passing it by

“Oh no, no, no, this should never have died”?

To be the snake, and the sword, and the veil

To author the joke and be the sting in the tail


No currency can buy

No tale can ever tell

No thread can make a stitch in you

Nor any tolling bell arrest you
