“The Shattered Timeline” is a narrative poem about the many twists and turns that come with developing a creative universe.
All across the shattered timeline
So many dead ends lie in view
Led along by twisted road signs
You must wonder which paths are true
O’erwhelmed by possibility
The plots keep winding and twisting
While there’s much flexibility
You find your trusty ship listing
Out of balance you lean forward
Looking over the edge you see
Cracks and fissures you’re coming towards
It’s a rough, stormy temporal sea
What came first could now come up last
The middle is murky and dark
Confusion is coming up fast
But here comes another random spark
