Timeless

A little scribble inspired by the style of the INCREDIBLE poet Donald Hall. His poems are sheer joy to read - if you can, check him out!

 

Hands sprung ahead as decreed—

gears of life’s seconds twist and whine of misuse.

Time is not a fixed thing

but we think it is and I look at the time sprung ahead and I’m so tired

of seconds and second-hands and I wish I had a third hand

to make playing the piano easier. But as with time, I had to learn

to do without.

"But as with time, I had to learn

to do without. "
