Time Does Not Exist
Time may seem persistent
Yet the point is missed:
Time is non-existent,
Time does not exist.
Pink Floyd deemed it heavy,
Dali made it melt,
Do not pay the levy
Time has cruelly dealt.
Staring at the clock-face,
Burning down the wick,
Working at the rock-face
Where the seconds tick.
In the autumn season
When leaves fall in wealth,
Time is not the reason,
It's the tree itself.
Time turns your hair snowy,
Time creates despair,
Time was sung by Bowie
But it isn't there.
A void, a blank, a nothing,
A trick to make us all
Run in circles, puffing
With a chain and ball.
Tea? Of course I'll pour dear
But I think you'll find
That it's half past four here
Only in your mind.
Time remains insistent
Far beyond our graves,
Time is non-existent
And we are its slaves.
