The Iniquity of the Children

If time resembles waves that lap the shores,

If time therefore now forward moves, now back,

If causes may betimes appear reversed,

As Richard Feynman in his physics said,

Then now iniquities of children may

Be said to visit, lash, and torture back,

In time, their fathers to the third, fourth

Generation in a turnabout that

Is fair play if seen from eternity.

In the vast great orb beyond the cosmic

Pocket where we live, time is no more but

Cause prevails in all directions. All’s an

Ocean limitless with, without an edge.
