Understanding
Time
Time is the main
thing,
Because it is
the frame and support of consciousness,
Of mind, and of
that wondrous electric chemistry
Which makes it
possible for me to see
The neighbor’s
flag wave,
The neighbor’s
purple martins swoop,
The neighbor’s
angel trumpet plant bloom,
The winter moon
rise in majesty
Above the
neighbor’s place.
Without time,
All this will
cease:
Flag, bird,
flower, moon—
All.
