Глава 2307: Time’s Sharp Teeth (aka: We Give It Meaning; Embracing Unnecessary Dictates)

Time marches on mercilessly,

cliché but true;

how stupid we humans are,

to subscribe,

to all the worst aspects therein.

Глава 2290: Desert Sands…

Temporality,

bane of kings and presidents,

craving permanence.

Глава 2236: Expectational Betrayals…

It’s not so much time, as we feel it (relentless!),

that’s our enemy; rather it’s our expectations,

inbred imperatives, for “making the most of time”.

… Time is a measurement …

We are taught to value comparison and competition,

where there need be none.

… We exist in the midst of natural processes.

Глава 2231: Time, Stillness, Brokenness

Time moves on;

but does it matter, if,

frozen in pain, we stay still?

Глава 2209: Are We There Already?

In reversal of childhood times,

when things could never come soon enough,

I increasingly find myself wishing that they didn’t.

Глава 2125: Rosy Views Of Times Past

It was a good day,

now that it’s faded away;

surviving, we breathe.

Глава 2116: Time Demands?

Time in itself, does not demand. It is indifferent to us, our needs and wants.

But we, from birth, taught to feel an imperative, demand everything of time and, in turn, place ourselves, individual and collective, in great bondage.

Глава 2109: Futurity Maturity

So, I sat, and thought about the future.

And, after careful consideration, I decided

I don’t want to do that again.

Глава 2084: Dream…

I’d willingly do “everything”,

if only there was time,

and lack of negative consequences.

Глава 2081: Right Time?

So I fall behind “normality”.

It’s OK, I’ll crawl back,

a modicum of mediocrity

is all I need to muster

(if I can stomach it).

Глава 2023: Sifting Imperatives

People demand the job be done ASAP,

time is money, they say,

but sometimes, the time just isn’t right,

and some things shouldn’t be rushed,

regardless.

… Take a lesson from yesterday,

unless you want tomorrow’s garbage today.

Глава 2007: Time, As Gravity, We Can Measure, But Not Master

Time marches on,

relentlessly, mercilessly, mockingly.

Time evaporates,

desecrates, eviscerates, obliterates.

Hope, gone.

Resistance, futile.

Tomorrow, die, or do it all again.

Глава 1990: Laura 1

She asked if I still played cards.

Alas, not since Red Berlin turned Brown, I replied.

So much, then and since, lost meaning.

Глава 1980: Future Too Passes Away

*I*, am struggling with today.

*They*, are talking about tomorrow, excited and relishing prospects.

I want to forget anything beyond the past.

Глава 1946: This Too Shall Pass?

Hopefully, by the time you read this

it is no longer contemporaneous;

the feeling, I pray, has passed,

and despairing misery

has become differently.

Глава 1931: On Time?

It is said: God’s timing is perfect.

Alas, this world and its people are not …

They aspire to contrive, exploit, deprive

each other,

every waking (and sleeping) moment.

Chapter 127: Misplaced Time & Everlasting Brief

Man-child acts like a teenager, he explains,

because he didn’t get to be one when he was one.

…

Life on Earth,

misplaced time,

and everlasting brief.

Chapter 106: Temporal & Eternal, Pain…

Temporality passes,

by definition they imply,

but this denies the pain

that seems everlasting.

…

This “thing” passes?

Maybe, but as far as I remember,

it’s all I’ve ever known.
