A sphere full of milky fluid
Small and battered, old and used
Scorch marks on metallic sides
Traveller floats in a rubber suit
Jherek gingerly touches
Pitted metal, cracks welded over
The inventor speaks: “This machine
It’s as safe as any other”
“You are a martyr Jherek”
Lady Charlotina sighs
“You may perish in the service
Of temporal exploration”
“You’ll be remembered a hero
Crucified tempestuous time traveller
A Casanova of the Chrononauts
Upon the cross of time”
In his right hand she presses
A translation pill
In his left
A crushed rose of bluish-green
“Speed through the hours my Horus
Through the days and months and centuries”
“As Hitler sped to Eva
As Oscar sped to Bosie (’boysie’)
On, on, I am moved, I am entranced
Like Von Beck when he touched
The Holey Pale
I am faint with rapture”
The instruments float in the fluid
A dial comes to life, red and green
Then two more, blue and yellow
Faster faster white lights flashing
And then a gurgling noise
Liquid becoming darker
He feels pain, and tries to scream
He’s on his way
He passes out
