No, I have not been smoking the wacky-tobacky . . .

it's all about time
it's not about me
it's not about you
it's all about the theory of relativity
of time
it's not about love
love has spent time with me
but like heaven
it's hard to pin down
it's all about time eternal
tick-tock
it's not about the race we run
it's not about who wins that race
it's not about whether you drink
champagne from a golden slipper
or beer from a magician's hat
it's all about time
and time isn't
time isn't
deep, nor is it wide
time isn't a hole in the bottom of the sea
or a knot on a log in a hole in the bottom of the sea
no
get this straight
brothers and sisters
time isn't
we try to measure time
what we think of as time
we give it minutes and seconds and hours
days and weeks and . . .
but time isn't
time
will be here
when everybody is gone
time isn't

Fantastic! Love it! Love it! Why would you put such a disclaimer on such a fine piece of work that is completely out of character for you?...are you hungry? I am.

Haha!! Hell, I don't know why, Lori. I find I'm doing and thinking a lot of weird stuff after almost a full two months (next Thursday) that I came down with the shingles. I haven't had one day that I don't hurt, some of the pain is severe, but even it they aren't, they still hurt. It's screwing up with my thinking ability.

Nope, I'm not hungry, just had a DiGorino Pizza, and I am stuffed, just like their cheese-stuffed crust.

Thanks for the good words for the poem, you are sweet.

So, wanna pass some of that whatever it is you're not smoking here? lol

With Time, both enemy and friend,
For on what else can I depend?
Another day yet draws me nearer
To that face I'll face in the mirror.

To me, time is a reckoning. Of what, I have no idea... but it sounded cool didn't it?

Good write, JP

I recently had a similar conversation about time myself, wondering if time would exist if people no longer existed to record it!! Interesting!!!

I have spent a lot of time thinking about the enima of time, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is caught in the "time" warp.

Yeah, Ida, it is a theme that bears thinking over, but you get lost in the haze, at least I do. Thanks for stopping by.

Time is irrelevant, yet a river that's infinite.
