What Was Once
What was once can never be.
Resemblance, yes.
But not exactly.
What was once you do not want
Again. You do not
Want what’s spent.
It makes good sense.
The point is that the you that was,
The them that was,
The it that was
Was right for then.
The you, the them, the it
That was would never suit
The you that is,
And if you’re honest
Wise and rounded,
You that is, is bound for something
That is better yet.
You bet!

Controlling Time
You do change, and
It is a stranger and surprise.
Eye shape, vagina too.
(I do not know what penises do).
Lips up and down too thin, askew;
Creeping, drooping going on while sleeping.
Up, down, in, out, crepey
face
(and other parts) have had their use.
With not a chance to brace yourself,
You wake and wrink-
le
There between the brows,
Outside and under eyes;
Lids, brows, sight victimized,
Lost in lies of chronologic- truth,
Wide-eyed and starry-eyes of youth concluded.
Connecting time, correcting time, controlling time -
Impossible, ridiculous!
Perhaps collecting time from birth,
Self-going apparatus,
Mind its own,
Is all we ever do.

In The Mind
In the mind: ideas, pictures,
Gods, guides, good:
Each/every atom that must train, learn, burn
For something; turn
Itself inside and out
For worthwhile something(s) done.
Will. At some point
A will must will the will
To flow around and through
The sealed system you
reside in.
Fourteen hundred forty minutes’
Journey each and every
day
Until those atoms fan out
Into timelessness, all to the good
eventually.

Holding On To January
I tried to hold on to January.
It didn’t function. Gone.
Surprise!
A February.
Tried to grab a ninety-three
Arbitrarily.
I’d found a piece
From eighty-three, and eighty-three
Touched yesterday.
I tried to hold on to last year,
Last month, last week.
They leak away into vacuum
And attempt at memory.
There is a sense of the ridiculous
In all of this.

Nail Filing
Sitting there watching,
(Lifeline gone slack)
Romance-drama crap,
Moment ephemeral,
Not coming back.
A snail in a jail,
She files a nail,
Not batting an eye/I
To the moment she’s got:
Stupid, eh, what!
Letting time float,
The kernel of moment,
A colorless journal of treasure or rot.

And It Really Doesn’t Matter 2011

And It Really Doesn’t Matter
Reaching a new year
With no defining line
Between
The numbers and events.
Events which reel,
As numbers roll;
And nature rallies,
Changing shape.
Shifts and flux,
Transitions, links;
Only names and forms
On one long graph
To measure ups and downs
Statistics’ lows and highs,
Deaths and lives.
This, no new year,
Just symbol in a number
Where we’ll make our new year’s promises
And give our new year’s greetings.
Where we’ll throw or go to parties
With our aging parts
And play our parts;
Where line is fuzzy, fizzling out
And really doesn’t matter.
It Doesn’t Seem To Matter Anymore 12.30.2011

Child Of Time
Perception of time
Biologic,
Rooted deep within
Our brains,
Our watches,
To track passings.
Staircase climb
To time
But never Time
Outside eternity.
