It's Time

                                                Had I been given
                                                the chance
                                                to invent the universal clock,
                                                it’d be a real object
                                                instead of an illusion,
                                                so we weren’t this irrational in this day
                                                and age.

                                                Time rushes, stops, meanders;
                                                sometimes, it disappears;
                                                once too often it shrinks,
                                                or shows different cognitive hues
                                                at once,
                                                making the eye confuse the brain,
                                                making children grow crazy.
                                                The synesthesia of abstractions
                                                is the most powerful
                                                of all.
                                                (And this is one of the reasons why
                                                we fools write stuff.)

                                                A voice whispers to your ear:
                                                “Time’s a dream.”
                                                Then explanations
                                                are lost
                                                in the folds of the wrinkling overlapping
                                                of this sheer momentum.

                                                We're all mad here.
                                                Can you not see?

Huzzah. Whimsy and philosophical pondering. Love it:):):)
