I am,

And I am not,

Do I exist?

I must have forgot.

Creator and created —

Painter,

The painted.

Whispering winds

Speaking of fate

Wrestling serpents

In figure 8s

Mercury’s staff 

Commanding time 

Vibrating strings

Snakes intertwined

Past and present 

Future, 

and the now

Happening at once:

You might be wondering..

How?

Consider a caduceus:

Threefold loops.

and at each point,

where they meet,

is somewhere in time…

ain’t that neat?

but is it not

at each knot

the same two snakes

on the very same rod?

…
