Let us commence at the very beginning as he suggested
long before the first step, before there was a foot
the very stepping of which, might be considered a beginning
i.e. into the first succession of things—
no, no, way before time was even a consequence
and therefore distances ahead or lagging behind
were mute in their absolutes
What he meant to say was before the beginning
before the very drip of expression, before that journey
when we set out to find each other oh so long ago
