The Master said: "Has Time any beginning or an end ?"

The ZEN-KOAN as Poem - The Same Question - VI

The Master said: "Has Time any beginning or an end ?"

Said the Monk-Disciple 1: "It all depends on what happened in the mean-Time."

Said M-D 2: "And when and where Time and Space sealed their Union."

Said M-D 3: "And according to what Holy Rites prescribed in the ONLY Holy Writs, of course."

Said M-D 4: "And when and in which Hotel (Autel) honey-mooned to produce their centrllions of children."

Said M-D 5: "And if they were LGBTQ+, in WHOSE IMAGE they adopted their phantasmogoric progeny."

Said M-D 6: "You mean ALL that talk of fourteen-and-a-half billion years is mere hot-air spewing from under the Underground exhaust vents."

Said M-D 7: "I mean, Space-Time got married in Anno-Domini - give or take a thousand or two or more - for the sake of Peace with Abraham's prophets still at loggerheads, now all over the world."


Said M-D 8: "It all depends on WHO is the Male? and WHO the female? - for if
Time is the Mother, She would have a belly-aching time moving in between the countless interstices of the mazes of dimensioins, and as a result might file for a divorce before the entire scheme of Multi-Verses gets to be charted."

Said M-D 9: "What about Space-Time's relatively recent relations? They, too, would like to gravitate - I imagine - to the centre of the argument under duress of an ANNULMENT of the UNION, produced through committing adultery with the ALMIGHTY."

Said M-D 10: "The question really is, How is one to determine and consecrate True Time if not by the DNA-test of the Pure Blue-Blood of the Royal Highnesses of the Greenwich Mean-Time ?"

Said M-D 11: "Time-before or Time-after is not the same Time, so let's get back to the gnawing question of Imperially-Majestic Mean-Time later."

And the Master said: "Has Time any beginning or an end ?"
