Organizes occurring phenomena,
Distributes its usefulness
To the continued structuring
Of actuality-
The delivery of paste onto appendages,
Holds
To flesh
And touch,
Removed like rust bargaining with the occasion
To function as before
Described in memory.
Time programmed on the microwave:
Disrupts real,
Continues in seconds and paused in mid countdown
Holds its form
To honor abandonment.
Scram to the beheading!
Chants of ending-it-all
Explain the worst
Attributed to the human condition.
At dinner
Her wristwatch
Stopped working
And time
Predicted its death.
Time isn’t forever. Much to the chagrin
Of those who discovered its message
“To document is to die
And language is time too.”
