Proleptically

Speak of material
still encased in its nascent
stage of universal birth

Study the bird
based on its bulbous blue
egg, broken shells and all

Elaborate on practice
still stirring in theory, a pedagogue
teaching the lesson backwards

Today we were born
at bedtime, old age by morning,
buying sports cars at noon.
