Because I Know That Time Is Always Time

Because I know that time is always time
And place is always and only place
And what is actual is actual only for one time
And only for one place
I rejoice that things are as they are and
I renounce the blessed face
And renounce the voice

Because I cannot hope to turn again
Because I cannot hope to turn again

Consequently I rejoice, having to construct something
Upon which to rejoice
Upon which to rejoice
