RE: Time the wandering's worth

in #poetry6 years ago

This is a worthwhile stroll. However, it seems you need someone to go with you on your walks. I think I remembered you guys had a dog. Do you ever take the dog out with you?

each living gem, each humble dreg
to make the wandering worth its tread.

Going back to my old neighborhood over the summer was like day-tripping. I went for a walk with my wife and ran into these guys that looked like ZZ Top. My wife was so scared of them she tried to walk on the other side of the street.

The the tall one came right up next to me and said, "Chris! I haven't seen you in ages! Remember me? We did honors English together thirty years ago?" What could I do?
I gave him a hug.

I'm pretty sure time is a big joke. A funny one at that. If it wasn't for wrinkles in gravity we would all be stuck in time tesseracts. Very few really have a clue even to ask where or when in this world we are or we were or we will be. In one way or another people enjoy staying comfortably numb.

On a side note, those trees seem to grow overnight but so many calendars have been discarded in the process.
