There is no escaping time,
the villain
who never eats
who never sleeps
who is open 24 hours a day
7 days a week,
always riding your back
never letting up,
the present moment never
having a chance to develop,
because it is always moving
forward whether you like it or not,
caught in the web like a fly,
hoping not to be eaten alive
always on the move,
the unfolding dialectic of contradictions
at one place one moment and at another the next,
a sporadic never ending typhoon,
merciless, constant crashing of waves,
an assault on the senses every single day;
Time is a black hole,
consuming itself
disregarding past and present,
all things lost,
the future the only goal,
but even that does not endure
