TIME(AS THEY SAY)PASSES
TIME(AS THEY SAY)PASSES
The world is busy
becoming
the 17th Century.
Time holds its breath.
Mountains gaze into the distance.
It is snowing
in China.
Ricci's European maps
delight the Chinese scholar
who notes" ...you don't
have to leave your house
...yet you can have complete
knowledge of the world."
Here and now the world
shrinks to an Internet click.
A palace built
of memory.
I yawn and fall
asleep in the 20th Century
...waking up in
the 21st.
