Like time rolling by when jumping trains, hours of grinding rail stock and dust and danger! Yet it is true we are all pea size in comparison to time who sees us all off in the end. The Earth too! Time will tick by and watch when the sun explodes. All those images implanted by this little poem in the true jaunty Montoya style. Hope the residents of Mauricio's new township see what a gem they have.
As a physicist, I could try to fix the physics of this piece, but that would be wrong-headed, as this is about the human perception of time, and not about "physical time", which is something else entirely. And regarding "human time", you have captured that in such a whimsical, light, and gossamer manner, that I really must salute you. Extremely well done, my friend. Loved the piece. Very high marks!
I have read a few other of your pieces. This is one of my favorites.
Time slips away or flies or busiest away for sure...We need to capture each second and live it for sure..Enjoyed reading your work..I am glad that you took time to read and comment on my work "Emergency Room"..We have spent some time there over the years and now it is not what it used to be..Sunflower..
Time is hard when times are tough. That's when time seems to matter most.
Otherwise, if you are happy it flies by!
You can buy everything in this world but the one thing you can't buy back
is time.
Love to draw and cook from time to time, when I'm not drawing I’ll write poems. My favorite poet is Edgar Allen Poe. Now back in the day there was a time when I wanted to see the world, so.. more..
