Time is a partially melted
family photo album
found in a charred house fire
slowly being viewed.
Time is the haven for liars
as it supplies shelf life
for lies that are still living.
Time is a child's
lost mittens’ journey
from then-hands to now-found.
Time is the flutter
of humming bird wings
seen as a tuning fork trapped
in a time lapse warp
slow down show.
Time is the dead weight
displayed as shear mass
of all unread printed instructions
posthumously now gathered.
Time is the top burner
on a stove
that shows the most wear
displaying the least care.
Time is an angry person's
pension to spit,
filled with lost moments
while salivating expectations
as disappointments now launched.
Time is a medic alert wristband
disguised as a voluntary lead story
for opening conversational lines
to tell it all in one sad setting.
And lastly,
Time is the fisted rolled up newspaper,
postured as all threatening,
at a dog obedience school.
