If you think of time Not as a measure of linear progression Where we live as ants marching to our deaths Little by little And speeding up the closer we get to the grand finale But instead, like Kurt Vonnegut once explained As a series of incredible moments revealed all at once Happening, experienced, and witnessed simultaneously As a mountainscape of beauty Maybe we could change The way we choose to live our lives I first see myself as a child The world towering around me And then I'm older, a skinny, unsteady version Of the person I'll become And then I'm much older, and I'm unhappy And then I'm realizing what's important And then I'm gone And then I see you In flashes of instances Little 16-millimeter camera lens fuzziness Soft and hazy You have the most beautiful expressions And the world is so green, and so blue, and so red Petals unfold in starkening ways And sunlight humbles me as I bask in golden silk We are just memory machines Taking each moment and storing them away To reminisce later and wish we were there And when I see all of these moments As a living, breathing canvas Of beauty and complexity A world of color, and light, and texture Flourishing and withering Existing right before my eyes And time is expansive, and never-ending Like the souls inside us Or the blackness of night Or the ceaseless ocean waves And I sink into the forever reality That neither begins nor ends with me
