Time is Purposeful

1 Like sand collecting 
2 at the bottom of an hourglass 
3
4 like electricity 
5 from firing synapses
6
7 like rattling cries  
8 falling into the night 
9 from cicada in the trees
10
11 like droplets becoming 
12 a stream 
13 many magnitudes of order
14 larger
15
16 your fingers
17 snap
18 on top the water 
19 as your story is
20 told 
21
22as a body 
23 in a river 
24of words 
25
26 where language 
27 makes more sense 
28 than gravity
29
30 because meaning 
31 happens in the moment,
32 and ages are spent
33 to grasp it.
