Anachronism

Posted on by Reena Saxena

souls stuck on the wrong side
of the time machine
struggle and writhe in pain
not knowing why they don’t belong
why are they punished
for just being themselves

I am the concept
I am the script
I am the beginning and end
to make people understand
value is derived
only from context

everything else
is created by gods
caught in bad moods
-arcs meant to fit in
non-existent circles
-dictionaries with puzzles
disguised as words
-cycles of birth and death
in search of parking slots

  4. I love the description of anachronism as ‘souls stuck on the wrong side / of the time machine’, Reena, and the idea that ‘everything else / is created by gods / caught in bad moods’ and ‘cycles of birth and death / in search of parking slots’.
