Time, Twisted And Warp-Able? Poem by Chuy Amante

Time, tempo

What is it really,
if everything is
for sale at a price,
who is the owner?
Ignoble or nice?

If I got it right,
right now.
you have this minute
so do I
Does yours have 62 seconds
and mine only 59?

Are the 'wealthy' buying more
than their share?

Or are the poor
destitute of hours?
Unfair!

Does Trump squeeze each day
and get 25? More alive?
You sleep long and have
reduced your day to 23?
Mercy me!

Have the Dr. Chronologists
now created longer minutes?

Yesterday's 24 are long gone
Tomorrow's 24 are in question
Today The Pope, The President,
You, Me, The boss, the inmates
are delivered the same gift of
exactly 24 more.

Who runs who?
Do you manage the clock,
do the two hands manage you?

What if you ignore time and its structure?
Did It 'run out' early on Kutcher?

What if you do what you do
and
Be what you are
move in the field
with no attention
on the moving hands
mechanistically
ticking
tocking
clocking
or
moving
grooving
walking
no attention
on the hands
walking hand in hand
be it woman be it man

Don't let the hands spank you
Ignore the hands!
Or,
let them caress you!
