Seed Time by Ayi Kwei Armah

To the hot-eyed hustler urging speed

over preparation, saying

knowledge of self yea

probing the universe fine

digging connections in between sure

but the rev is urgent work and

there’s no time now, right? Say

wrong.

Say preparation is

time spent, not wasted.

Add the image:

Ra took ages

still hasn’t finished:

all history is foreplay.

Should the hustler counter, teasing:

Shoot, but this your Ra’s unreal

mystic stuff, say

no my love

agreed,

reality includes prestressed concrete

bullets, nitroglycerine

rustproof steel and lasers

but that’s hardly all

unless you think

your intellect

unreal.

Say

Ra’s a mythic paradigm


but

what are myths and

paradigms

but psychic feet and hands projected

through the universe

to help us move

from what happened to us

to what we need to be? Say

no my love

Ra’s no self-created god

Ra is our self-creation

Ra is us

embracing space

traversing time. So

no my love

whatever we’ve run short of

this hasty day

its name cannot be

time.
