Isn't it just obscure
that the very symbol for
      'infinity'
can be tilted slightly
and change to a numerical meaning,
     'number eight'.  
The very symbol
that represents an everlasting time span
can be knocked sideways
and given a meaning of limited time?

Much like life,
we think we have all the pieces together,
we think we have all the time in the world,
but then something knocks us,
something tilts us,
and it changes us all together,
it changes everything.
