Two months ago

in December. The 17^th.

When I found you

and it was too late for

CPR, but I tried anyway.

Too late.

I Believe in God.

But I refuse to believe

in Time. A Timeatheist,

and I worship at the alter

of DeCartes, and know,

as an article of faith,

I THINK, therefore

EVERYTHING IS!

Except time.

Because if time

does not exist,

you my love,

still do.

Author's Note

I have no idea how to lift the "2" so it means "squared"

We should have figured out by now that time does not exist. It is a man made construct that is only any good to explain entropy and then I fell asleep before the documentary ended, so that's all I've got on that one. But I think I dreamt that the narrator summed it up tidily by saying something about watches breaking and there we have it, if man can't build a watch that doesn't always stop working then we may as well agree that time doesn't exist, but even if it does, it would cost too much time to fix it anyway.
So just look out that old watch, that is probably in the back of some drawer and look at it, proving your love still exists.
And that is the end of today's lesson and all other lessons are cancelled, as time does not exist!
The Dean has called me to his office tomorrow to discuss my teaching methods, but I said I couldn't make it and he told me I was out of time, they've cancelled my timeology class 😊

Lorry,
Time messes with my head. Someone wrote that time consists of infinitely thin slices, like pages in a book. So, here I am writing this to you on my page 713, but, back there on page 702, I am composing the poem, and on page 648, she's still there.

Looking forward to you getting to page 714 and beyond 😊

It HURTS all over!

an absolutely heart-wrenching poem here Vol. Man and reason vs man and emotion. without both we are nothing, but they do and shall be so often at odds with one another. This poem gives thought to the duality in a straight forward easy-to-grasp way. Truly enjoyed the work

Thank you, Ken, very kind, thoughtful words.

I loved the concept of time, we really don’t know how it works, and love the ending. My condolences, your love does still exist, I’m sure. The universe is stranger than we can even comprehend with our tiny brains.

NormaZ,
She is, it is...

I have just always been curious where time came from to begin with and who had the time to create time. It is something that I can't seem to grasp or get my head around as they say. But, your poem is very cool in what it says, time or not...you would still be here...love it.

WW,
I've got a whole new problem... whatever the time when I check the clock is the time it will be until the next time I check to see... I stay in SO MUCH trouble...

Hear a tale about M. Descartes. The philosopher, in a Paris tavern, but in a hurry, realized he didn't have time for a drink, but before he could leave, the bartender approached and asked "Would Monsieur like a glass of wine?" Descartes replied, "No, I think not." And then he vanished.

He was such a dumbass...
