The Time I Am
what is time after
all        how do we know it       is it the clock on the kitchen wall
the mirror       mirror
mirror on the wall       can we see time       feel it
i have heard       we
become aware that time has passed       when we see people on TV
and we see they have
aged       our children have grown      our pets have died of old age
i look out  across
the mesa            see the mountains                          the sky
all looks the
same           as if under water                             or trapped in resin
there is silence in
the room         everyone i know is gone          alone
everything has been
in anticipation of this moment      time is killing me...      and you
yet i wear a watch
on my arm   to measure it's passage              it is something
that cannot be
escaped          trapped in time                for as long as i am

To be trapped alone.. what a sad situation annell .. time is a harsh river..
I can see the mesa, as if trapped in resin.....it is good that the landscape stays the same, when everything else has changed. Something to count on. Beautiful, Annell.

chained to time.
In a world that spins on time and change there is such peace in a view that continues. Beautiful
Gah, I sure hope I don't need TV to tell me that time has passed... well no, I can see the aging in my own face. Argh.
