Some questions
are best left to time
to answer;
Time is capacious
to carry all
possibilities;
The great director above
chooses the scripts
He wishes to play
on the stage
at particular times.
Time always selects
the role of dwarf
for Logic
whatever be the script
and whichever the play.
It has been my lot
to put life back
into Clocks
that tick not
any more
They don’t like
the ghastly sight
of a Clock not moving.
But Time hasn’t stopped.
I suspect it never will,
except for the living
who keep repeating
the same script
from childhood to
oldage, of eat-drink-make merry
and marry-carry-tarry.
I am happy putting life
back into Clocks, not
having to dirty my hands
handling the living.
