Memo For Chronos Rex Poem by Ananta Madhavan

Memo For Chronos Rex



A quarter to six, time to be getting up.
Or shall I wait for sunrise?My watch is above
Measuring the measureless.
Yes, every "unforgiving" nano-second on earth
With its latitudinous seasons
And longitudinous time-zones.

I must take my trusty watch to the old man
Who sits on the sidewalk and repairs time-pieces
Which need new batteries or main-springs.
I need a new strap because the buckle-hole
Of my Chronos Rex is almost torn.

I shall make a memo of it and forget.
This is normal in my Unmemoranda.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Time which is beyond measure, is still a governing principle of our
lives and routines.This contradiction cannot be resolved by Reason;
perhaps we can conceive it as an intuition.

Hope I have like-minded readers. Dissent is also welcome if the argument is convincing.

A reader who is generally in accord with the idea that we should regulate our lives, without becoming bound to set schedules and routines would be like-minded in my valuation.
