The Shifting Distance of TimeA Poem by Polly Taylor
Time is a curious thing;
Mathematics made the rules
Yet the flight of life
Bends and breaks what
Many affirm a science
60 seconds to a minute
And so on and on, and on
Tick tock
Phrases such as
“ the time of your life”
“ time is money”
Confuse the issue somewhat
Whilst deemed a fixed entity
Time is malleable, transient and lucid
It flexes and changes shape
A number of factors
Place importance
In defining the existence
It ends to be
Interest boredom, work,
Play, grief, heartache?
Sleeping sucks time,
Like a hungry car for fuel,
Guzzle, guzzle
Tick tock
I find
7 Minutes is usually enough.
