The Evolution
of a Temporal Knight
by Robert Shmigelsky
Timid page
Menial tasks
Looped into whole days
Thank employer’s
Temporal aperture
Youthful apprentice
Rudimentary training
Unsuccessfully ducks
Torrent of verbal degradation
Many errands disguised as trials
Finally... an advanced learner
Expert swordsman
But mild knowledge of
All these mystic tomes
Teacher brought up
Final tribulation
Tomorrow
Novice hero... huff
Begins two-man quest... puff
Epic journey
With lots of hills
To scale
Perfect for long camera shots
Sword can catch moments in time
No coconuts
Pious studies
Occasional lover of history
Countless regal tourneys
As many second-place finishes
One chosen admiration
A dark and perilous crusade
Horrendous first encounter
Accompanied numinous glow
Now quantum man
Surging through
Blaze of rewinding light
Eclipse gives rise
Temporal knight times two
