THE WEIGHT OF TIME
Long before
Just the other night
Only the wink of the eye
When time was not already born
Long before
When tomorrow was just a dream
And yesterday another pulp fiction
Long before
And after all
Nobody cares
Good poem Tim Seibles.
I’ll check out your new book
And as it grew
the gutless brain
learned how to kill
with a word or few.
