Always time before Time 21 Apr 2017
ALWAYS time
before TIME
before any TIME
IN TIME
after time
SAY it play it
a mystery RHYME
AND in those spaces
in long lost PLACES
EVEN music keeps
the BEAT in TIME

And if you still
don’t believe in Time
forget about it
live without it
Then time runs AWAY
TIME RUNS OFF
try hard to find it
it jams its foot
in the SKY
and then TRY
to budge it or DIE
it refuses to PLAY
and then remember
in January or DECEMBER
that old sun in
the sky
it carefully will not comply
with your wishes
or EYE
IT MOVES UP
the orb of the SKY
and marks off
each hour on sundial
or TOWER
and you cannot stop it
even if you TRY
SAY it play it
a mystery RHYME
AND in those spaces
in long lost PLACES
EVEN music keeps
the BEAT in TIME
