Time

Time is not
A number on the watch
Nor the ticking of a clock
Neither a position
Of the Sun
Nor the movement of the stars
It’s not a string of seconds
Nor an accumulation of moments
It is immeasurable
Non-quantifiable
Uncontrollable
132 minutes
Can live out two centuries
Days could be but moments
Years like weeks
A whole lifetime
But a few seconds
Or
You can count aloud
Every damn second
And watch the hands tick
Till the eyes with tears swell
Yell, cry and scream
Stomp as loud as you will
But the hour will never rush
Even nightfall will remain
As bright as day
