Time passes by in the worst of ways
Seemingly eternal during the bad times
Infinitesimally brief during the good
I have always wanted to sit time down
And give it a piece of my mind
A peace of mind that only surfaces
If and when the time is right

I wrestled oughts in its volition
Wound up its thoughts to powdered woulds
Rewired its clockwork inhibition
And worked its musts to damn-well-should's

I wrestled lots with its traditions
I languished over its permanence
And my allotted time conditions
I reframed time, and time against

And then I looked at the small marks
I'd left upon its crest
Shy over how long it had took
And yet so eager for a rest /
I better trust the blazoning fires
Since I can't vouch for a reset
After the resin cooled to touch
I'd made my edits permanent

The grasp of time that I had none of
Just for a second, just for me
Slowed down to quite over a minute
And then a minute turned to three
And maybe six to forty hours
Passed onto light as I could see
And as time marked post-dates on my brow
I stepped into eternity

In the next life I sure hope
That I will see more of thee
Because when I leave marks on time
It too leaves its mark on me
