Time




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?

  1. 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.

  2. Those questions! And that last stanza. Wow.

    I just heard a good podcast about time: Show Case: Ways of Hearing, pt 1: Time
    https://www.radiotopia.fm/showcase/ways-of-hearing

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