Lyrics
Time As Imperialism
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The calendar year is an imperial narrative.
The seven-day week is an imperial infliction.
Circannual holidays are imperial flag-posts.
Mechanical time is an imperial installation.
The merchant workday is an imperial offering.
Greenwich MeanTime is an imperial sanction.
The looming weight, uniformly imposed;
as albatross and as anchor.
The new time-imperialists will get their
way with those left: the rural, the feral, the frail.
Feed them a thread, that leads to a string.
They'll follow the string, until it leads to a rope,
and from that rope every vestige of what was will be hung by the neck.
