Time! Time!  Time!

we measure the moments

weigh check note track

every second is identical to every second

yet no two seconds ever the same

this second looooooooooooooong

that one quick

this one painful

that one dear

 

we try to capture

control

understand

command

demand

we are time’s masters

or so we think

 

but time

only exists

in our

imaginations

 

time is a flow

a river that carries us forward

onward

go go go

to us it’s fast

to time, it’s slow

 

Time has seen

dinosaurs

continents drifting

stars sifting

cosmos forming

decades and decades and decades of storming

time has seen stars from birth to death

 

time goes on

even if all the clocks stop

time goes on

even if there are no clocks

no clocks

no weekdays

no weekends

no months

days lengthen

and shorten

in spite of man

you can stop the clock

but you can’t stop time’s hand

 

time is vast and infinite too incredible to know

it flickers pink and blue and orange and gold with flecks of green and streaks of red orange every color every shade rainbows and hues and trembles and CHAOS and bubbles that float and Pop! and twirls that whirl and whirl and whirl and Stop.  then go and go and move and flow and green purple orange blue grey raspberry golden hues silver flecks black and white checks plaid and amber stripes and dots so much color and noise NOISe crashes and bashes and smashes and ting ting ting ring ring ring chimes and rhymes and

that is time.

that is time.
