Not Trying To


       Time has it's revenge but revenge seems so often sour. Wouldn't we all do better not trying to understand, accepting the fact that no human being will ever understand another ........

Minutes Went By


                     The minutes went by on tiptoe, with their fingers to their lips.

You Cannot Conquer


But all the clocks in the city
Began to whirr and chime
O' let not time deceive you
You cannot conquer time

In the burrows of the nightmare
Where justice naked is
Time watches from the shadow
And coughs when you would kiss
