We Are Not Time

Whose counting

This clock on the wall

In the foyer

With the book in a freshly dusted shelf

Whose watching 

This face covered with a mask

No one 

Whose needing to say something

Each one of us 

Whose sitting still in the great wave 

The inner most self 

Locked in chains in screams

Hope for the whistling hour 

Small acts in the shake

Whose laying parallel 

In the hovering arms 

Wings filled with fresh clippings 

Outback the flourishing nourish 

Granular mannerisms crunching

Once placed in the pocket of someone else 

Fell through a hole

Onto a leaf

Picked up by an animal brushing by 

Running from the rules 

Whose waiting

For the beauty in nothing that is sure to give us a ride

Simple rituals so sweet in their intention 

Street knowledge 

Informed the open air 

Open dreams for all that will fly 

Meta embrace 

Shuffle the scene like a tarot reading 

Reframe the parameters in a willing way 

You can have the physical 

Pushing rocks uphill 

Until the water comes 

Always finding the way around 

Whose the obstacle 

You

Your Thoughts
