“Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.”
-Thoreau
Some six or so cheap watches set in a row
Ten-dollar Timex models with shabby straps
Cast-offs and hand-me-downs – and so one asks:
Why are there watches on a refectory table?
The abbey’s clocks are the moon and the sun
And the cycle of seasons each in turn
The changing leaves and liturgies in time
With the Great Dance of stars in their appointed spheres
But even so:
Those six or so cheap watches set in a row
Are
For outside appointments - and now we know!

I hate time.
I hate being conscious about the existence of time.
I hate how every second slips away and cannot be redone.
I hate when I'm a bad person and only cry when they're gone.
I hate how, deep down, time doesn't change anything.
No matter how long it takes, I can still be on the same place.
How I'm always close, but never closer
To anyone who's already decided their fate.
I hate growing up and having to adjust.
I hate slowing down and eating their dust.
For as long as my stories have been alive,
I only care to fantasy, where there is no time.
