… or Not Now Albert

after Albert Einstein and Thomas Morley

 

It’s about time

but now is not the time

for it is not how now works.

 

Fa la la la la la la la la,

 

In fact now is meaningless;

now is a clumsy construct

from Newton’s classical calendar.

 

                    ...  fa la la la la la laah

         
Behind the times,

now is neither here

nor is now there.

 

Fa la la la la la la la la,

 

For time is not on now’s side

and to live for now

would be wasting time.

 

                    ...  fa la la la la la laah

 

You see, existence transcends time

So, there is no now.

Now does not stand the test of time.

 

Fa la la la la la la la la,

 

Now’s not the month of maying

when merry lads are playing,

for participles (past or present) are pointless.

 

                    ...  fa la la la la la laaaah!
