Perhaps god of time is a misnomer
and god is time the correct alternative
since the former indicates removal
from the preposition’s object
where, in fact, is identity, an equation
that brooks no separation, no distance
between the two nouns, thus the only
necessity is one or the other
any sentence—subject and predicate—
a tautology necessarily unneeded
