He wandered in off a morning ledge, sat down beside me and asked, "Do you believe in time?"

I told him that I believed in time for coffee, sex and late night snacks, but, I didn't believe in clocks.

"Good!", he replied, "then you won't mind if I take your skillet-handled screamers and your carpet-sided countenance with me when I go?"

I told him, "as long as you close the door when you leave, you may take anything except the rose or the raven."

The door closed, and was immediately replaced by a 'No u turns allowed," sign, so, I guess he's gone for good.

Yet, at times, I'm not so sure!

Well, this is dark and deep.
I guess you're anger is well expressed.
One thing is for sure is that this evokes thought pictures & emotions right away and I think that's good.

I sense a "time" of Outer Limits
here...and it made me smile, and yet,
as Midnitesun said,
there is a dark side, too...

which fits me, very well.

Appreciated the light, m'dear.
