I never stopped
and thought of time
like gravity or motion-
maybe oxygen draining
from an underwater tank
or the wrong end of a telescope
where everything is smaller
than it was a minute
or a year before.

What a unique idea of time. I always love reading your work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Susie. I love you reading it :-)
Deletehuh, interesting everything getting smaller in relation to time...works in a couple ways...growing up...i have gone back a couple places and marveled at how big i thought it was before...also how time seems to speed up at times...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Brian. I feel bigger in a lot of ways, but feel relationships, especially with my brother and sister, have grown smaller.
DeleteNice poem Ben. You got the time down pat. Time makes a difference in everything.
DeleteIt surely does.
DeleteI love your thoughts on time,,I, too, have returned to places and found them appearing smaller and some memories shrink over time too,,well said,, :-)
