Hannah Gadsby’s right, you know. “No one
Is born ahead of their time. It’s impossible!”
Nonetheless there are those who remain
Manifestly out of sync with their Zeitgeist,
Whether there ever is, was, or will be
Another Zeitgeist could have mainstreamed
Them. Nobody’s ahead of their era, but
Some animals, more than others, remain
Defiantly alien. Perhaps it could be said
They belong most to the company of each
Other, whenever time may have taken them.
That company of the lost, never meeting,
Home in an era never started, never expired.
That’s the time zone devoutly to be desired.
