Who Made Time, And Do They Have More? Poem by Chuy Amante

Who Made Time, And Do They Have More?

Rating: 5.0


I own time, it owns me not
I can't say 'I've been around'
That implies a past, a thought

If I said 'I will...' in the future
once again,
I kill using a ruler

Time is not so linear
lots of it won't make me skinnier
Like the past won't make me fatter
I'm an eternal NOW batter

Now Is NOW and we have lots
There is no-time for all
and time for nothing

Does any exist outside our head
will it not go on
when we're dead?

Rid yourself of
Clocks, calendars
and mirrors
Stay who, what, and when
You want TO BE
NOW
Not then, not later
not maybe
Not now you say?

Now is Now,
stay here and play!

(I'll be your playmate,
let's make it a dateless
date)

Is it ok if I have a headache now? Geewillakers. I don't have the energy to click caps lock so what I say means little things. I'm not very good at telling people good things about their poetry.
