Thirty-five moves slowly down the pike,
Having still a little time to lose.
Infinity, of course, is what she's got,
Reduced a bit by death, but not a lot,
Time enough to while away and use.
Yet there are certain things in life she'd like.

For now is ever just the time to strike,
Immersed in more intent than one might choose,
Voices one might otherwise refuse
Except for what one'd rather have than not.
