Time
Is time an organized file
brimming with figures and facts?
Or is time a play in the theater
with lines and scenes and acts?
Is time a glorified drum
beating the rhythm of life?
Or is time a well-honed blade
cutting through age like a scythe?

Wowee. I like the *uestions and the way that the answer is "all of the above." : ) Last stanza is most thought-provoking for me (and the rhyme is stellar). Go Dice. Go ML.
ReplyDeleteThose questions! And that last stanza. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI just heard a good podcast about time: Show Case: Ways of Hearing, pt 1: Time

And this book, Felt Time, was also really good: https://www.brainpickings.org/2016/04/27/time-felt-marc-wittmann/
