ANOTHER COUNTRY
ANOTHER COUNTRY
The hands of the clock
try to grab hold of me
as I dive through
its tick tocks
into the depths
of my private time
where mere mechanical timekeepers
and paper calendars
can not hold me
to account.
I abandon time
leave it far behind
free now
from this fragile world
of flesh
and bone
my very being
my own.
Memory is "another country
they do things differently there."
Here a second is
a century.
A moment made of
timelessness.
PastPresentFuture
collapsing into one.
And I a child again
for whom time
does not exist
only this forever now.
