Delay

Moments of incidence wrestle with incitement--
Should the call to act have been interrupted,
Who places where--
Continuity implies that there shall be
Only a stream and no droplets--
Dashes between every dot--
A code that won't rest on any cot--
Meaning is such a paramour--
Disguises can exist only as shims
Atop specific identities--
There is no thing in the shelf,
Only the books that bind--
From cover to cover there may be no difference,
But everything changed when another ocean
Bit into the sun when the moon didn't show--
Light takes time--
Truth takes crime--
And to be alive is indistinguishable
From that which is born and dies--
