Say 22: Relentless

Relentless
4/22/2019

The passage of Time
cannot reasonably be
called a march lacking
syncopation although
even a glass box uni -
verse it is relentless.
 
a moment 
ago I blinked
against the setting Sun
bare branches bloomed
as exiting the womb
assaulted all
both of us

Time is more like a glass
football he says rather
than a box and I admit
to not remembering
details of being born
half a century ago
but I swear it still 
feels like 
Yesterday
or maybe
Tomorrow.
