Time’s Flow

Time if anything,
Is an Ideal fluid.
As a man cannot compress it
But
Only compromise by it

Watch it slip
Like water through a
Sieve.
And all that is left,
Is memory

The present is what was
The past was what will be
And
The future will be what is
Irrotational

But now that I think,
About time’s flow,
She
Is not Ideal,
But Real

Her touch is viscous
And leaves a stain,
A stain that is ever
Present

The present is what was
The past was what will be
And
The future will be what is
Inevitable

But how does it matter,
About Her flow,
She hears you but does not
Listen
It is us who change our minds.

Watch her crash
As waves on a beach,
For rhythm or rhyme
Matter not for Time.
Only
Turbulence

The present is what was
The past was what will be
And
The future will be what
It is.
