A Lack Of Time Poem by Doris Cornago

A Lack Of Time



As a child, I never really lacked time
Until I began my adult life, lost
What's prime or is that a lie
Time disappeared in the
Blink of an eye
Telling me
You're
Going
Repeating
That ‘I have no time'
What's the real question
Is it really a lack of time or of
Priority, where am I in your long list
Then we got struck, confrontational muck

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A child delights us in that he could get caught up in the moment. Take a baby who has discovered his fingers. He would look at each connected piece, seeking the difference of each by form, holding his hand up to fully appreciate the form of each finger, tasting one by one to know the distinction. An adult is less appreciative and perhaps even laugh at my suggestion to reflect on the fingers, in adoration of the creation of something extremely distinctive. This is just an illustration of what's important is disregarded because we are used to having them.

Time does not exist in nature. Since early beginnings man has tried to put a meaning to events to somehow define the past, present, and future. Time has evolved from a sun dial to indicate parts of a day, to the moon, to indicate certain seasons, such as when to harvest, to the sun, to indicate periods like years. Yes, let's reflect and lose time.
