Time And Place Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

TIME AND PLACE
Time and Place slight meaning might retain
as time and space crust coaslesce, turn dust.
What coherent traces self-sustain
Unless uber umpire ubiquitous
recorded quantum jumps on every plane,
stored static clicks like Google, virtuous,
tracks each entangled atom - freedom vain.-
quashing protonic spin anonymous.
Place over time's transformed, each tiny grain
space curves, carves, calves, redistributes, adjusts
both content, context, again and again.
Page turns, stage churns, age burns, evolving thus:

'Omnia mutantur, nihil interit'
Naught perishes, all changes, Ovid writ.

Time and Place
Place and Time no meaning must retain
as time and space dust coaslesces from rust,
no trace coherent will in time remain,
unless some Internet ubiquitous
plays unheeded umpire virtuous
beyond the ken of mice and men, refrain
stored on pre-programmed trigger timing, just
waiting 'til intelligence again
decides to share, decode plan's joys, Man's pain.
