Four hours
Are too long
Four years
Are too
Short…
I have gone
From Time
To
Future time
And I have gone
From Time
To
Past time
And I have gone
Carrying my own time
Like some trinket
For the natives…
I have gone to
Many strange islands
Their sands
Surrounded
By the
Machinery
Of Time.
Ten hours
Are too long
Ten years
Are too
Short.
The hands
Of the clocks
Were one hand
Clapping
The digital display
A shuffling of
Cards…
