Time/No TimeA Poem by Louis McNab"There is not a single scientific way to prove the passage of time. For all we may know, time has never existed, nor has it ever passed. Imagine the implications of that." - UnknownTime We try to catch it all our lives The soft ticking is one of the first noises we hear We remember it for the rest of our days The closer we get to catching it, The smaller the gap The emptier the soul / A man wilts in some hospital His sons gone, his wife dead, Nothing remains but the infernal ticking Old eyes close, and the clock stops Instantly, his chest falls and the line goes flat He caught up with the clocks No time © 2013 Louis McNab |
