claiming ownership . of things is easy; of time . is more difficult
like a clepsydra . or the flow of ocean tides . liquids still tell time
living for today . the oak tree still manages . to be majestic
sometimes a sunrise . is a glaring reminder . that time is precious
a cat can tell time . but when the clock springs forward . he doesn’t sync up
when the hours slip by . unnoticed, it makes the years . inconsequential
slowly over time nature begins to reclaim that which we have made
off in the distance . is the future and the past . we stand in between
next year at this time the trees and the water still won’t set their clocks back
barriers become, . over time, just a structure . we can climb over
