On The Re-Beginning Of Time

Already pimped by the rolled back clock,
Orion doesn't care wtf time it is,
The Family Jewels hang there just the same,
Big Dog snappin' and snarlin' at them;
Women on ships point their astrolabia at the Dog Star,
Then switch to GPS, only to find that the Poles have changed,
The Republicans now in the lead;
While clocks spin backwards for an hour,
Dylan falls off of his barstool again,
Getting bourbon and egg on his face;
While October leaves fall into Black Neurotic November
Plastic bags that are donated to the National Dump,
Chicago finds out what time it really is,
But doesn't like the answer;
Little kids unable to Trick or Treat,
Put razor blades in apples for their Mother,
Longing for El Dia de Los Muertos;
While Lou Reed plays T'ai Chi on his Death Bed,
Time is definitely not on his side but has his back,
Do we all now agree that Time has come today?
