How Does Time Flow? Poem by Asher Proschansky

Does it percolate into the future
like coffee leaving its grounds behind a filter?
is it really like the sands of an hour glass
flowing through its small aperture?
Can it flow backwards like your memories?
or be the osmotic flow through a membrane?
is it water through a funnel shaped screen?
does its speed slow down or accelerate?
does it flow relatively slowly when you are going very fast?
can you catch its essence with a strobe light?
does its flow give you permission to be deliberate?
or punish you with a rapid flow when you procrastinate?
does its flow constitute an unforeseen dimension?
does it change its nature when you are fleeing a detonated bomb?
does it slow down or speed up when you are panic stricken?
well which is it?
does it flow fast when you are sleeping?
Is its flow measured consistently even by all time pieces?
even if you discount the time flow of your perceptions

Well I guess there is more to how time flows then you have time to ponder! So never mind!
