If within your lifetime

you can use a clock, digit or a hand

to count this life’s time

objectively

when you truly understand…

---

You haven’t lived,

only breathed.

---

To live racily in life’s slower moments

is a prize that is totally unrivalled;

Neigh-sayers. Those jockeying opponents

are trampled

under hoof, when you ride unbridled.

---

In the future there will be others

passing eyes over; your words,

your offspring, your pictures, your lovers.

Voyeurism

through the abstract lens of the absurd.

---

In the cave of your existence

lives your depths, your thoughts, your mud

a gift of solitary, temporary presence

that is you.

---

And, what isn’t;

to be understood.
