if time is an illusory concept
just an invented figment to keep things
in line
on track
and some people count fast
and others count slow
so there's no real way to say how long a second is
and the only real time is a moment
and moments aren't solid, but fluid and flowing
like slow-motion animations
that begin and then are over
and it's 2025 now
when it was just 2024
and two thousand twenty-four
years
have been counted since the birth of Jesus Christ
and time is only relative
and all we have are muttered numbers
and planetary rotations
then
time is just time
and it belongs to no one
there is never enough time
because time is not a mass
time just is
time is
time is
time is
