Lost In Time

By Malcholm Dark

 I said,
The wrong words
At the wrong time
On the wrong day
To the wrong woman.


And now, she has left me
For all the wrong reasons
I can never have her again
Although I have tried
And tried and tried and tried
What's wrong with me?


I have tried everything possible
Perhaps that's what I'm doing wrong
I need to try the impossible
(E)nergy equals (M)ass multiplied by the speed of light (C), squared (2)
I need a time machine
Yeah!


Give me,
Some relativity
A little quantum mechanics
A line or two of astrophysics
Mental optics--a picture of Einstein
A working chronometer from the planet of the apes
Chronometrical particles
And a boat ride into the Bermuda triangle
Presto--change-o
.
.
.
.
.
.
Nada!


Give me, 
Temporal paradoxes
Temporal continuums
Temporal wakes
Temporal vortexes
Temporal anomalies
Temporal hiccups
Hell, I'll take a temporal absurdity
A time tunnel or a quantum leap
Kurt Russell, open up the stargate
I need my woman, I'll prove my love
I will kill alien-Egyptian gods.


Perhaps meditation, transcendental style
Transcending the five earthly anchors
But my mind is so clouded and confused
Prof. Mallett, can you give this dumbass a hand
Loop my sub-atomic particles
And shoot a laser up my ass!


Give me,
Time paradoxes--time dilations--time curves
Parallel dimensions--parallel universes--parallel parking
Blackholes--wormholes--rabbitholes
Quantum gravity-fields--quantum flux--quantum teleportation
Negative matter--red matter--marcoscopic spacecrafts 
Live long and prosper
I am so fucked!


Prof. Ori rip the fabric of time
Shoot me down an energy ribbon
So I can walk into my nexus
And rectify my foolish mistake.


"Malcholm Dark to Captain Kirk
Energize your transporters
I've drank Saurian brandy with Dr. McCoy
I've played 3-dimensional chess with Mr. Spock
Captain Piccard is a punk
Beam me up Scotty, please!"


I need,
Samuel Madden
H.G. Wells
Mark Twain
T.S. Eliot
Mark Heinlein
Ray Bradbury
Issac Asimov
Kurt Vonnegut
Micheal Crichton
Steven King
Nancy Moser.


I need,
...to answer my phone, pardon me.


"Hi baby!  Yes, I miss you too
Dinner at 8, I love you."


I need,
...oh never mind.

    That was a very different write, I don't think I've seen anything like it, time paradoxes, Einstein, Dr. Spock, H.G. Wells, never thought I would hear those names in one place lol, once again Dark, very good read. Scholar
