Time What is time? Time is an endless ocean The current moving ever over occupied space All objects experience time, making it the supreme element The omnipresence of an unflinching, all-seeing eye whose vision engulfs all That swim through the marble-white corneas Time is crucial to knowing what life is Experience is anything that happens to a body coursing through the oceanic eye of time The waters wearing the edges down to rough or smooth, chipping in unique places It can be refreshing, oasis waters in a dead sea of salt Or pull life into a zone of deep pressure until it crumbles away to dust in the darkened depths Drowning in time, dying of thirst, watched and surrounded by water, unseen Experience over time is inevitable Filtered through the nature of perception being inevitably unique Experience over time applies to all living things Circumventing the anomalous perception, pesky as it is The equation is true, life is everything that happens while a thing occupies space in time's ocean.
