Flirting with the Paradox

I can't go back from here. To change it. If I did get back and changed it there never would've been a reason to go back to in the first place.

I can't smell his distance. Like I used to through all this foul. The decay. Sad men steering their broken time machines. Time.

It's over. As abruptly as it began.

Bits of sleep in the guise of man. Go to sleep. Shaky bridges tempt me to cross an ocean of skin.

Fingers like cellophane. Dimpling. Singing their cacophonous lullaby.

I don't sleep.

Eyes closed is time machine enough. Atoms smashing. Still looking for where it begins.

It's enough to go back. Make it all impossible again.
