Harbinger of Truth

When light burns,
When owls know your name,
When sounds bleed and shriek,
Its time to know.

When moon stares,
When road grumbles,
When bridges take your picture,
Its time to know.

When concrete glows,
When cat's eyes blink,
When the refrigerator man dies,
Its time to know.

When the red fern pulses,
When the optimum period dots,
When the midi trumpet blows,
Its time to know.

When the waterfall steams,
When the fruit trees run away,
When the phone continuum ends,
Its time to know.

When the anthills purge,
When scrap metal prisons empty,
When its many beers past midnight,
It's time to know.
