Time

Time is not my servant

Time is not my servant
but my camera.

It records my outfit of the day
my shoes and socks

my chosen menu
and nutritional delights.

my creative ideas
and works of art:
illustrations
books
poems
cartoons (framed and free)
(still and animated).

time is not a caricature
but a robot.
it marches
never morphs.

I flow
dance and whirl around through the minutes
flying static
on the face of time.

it is not my servant, but a camera
of my human path to divinity
every day
every minute, every nano second
prickles in the snow!

Rogue on the Road to Rhode Island
(departure:8AM)

Don programmed the GPS for 13 Sherman St.Newport,RI.
It calculated we would arrive at 12:38PM
But we skittered through Mass on the toll road,
And the robot continued to steer us back to the country routes.

It calculated we would arrive at 12:38PM
But, using the toll road, we parked at 11:24!
Speed limit on I90 was 65mph; in Conn: 30mph!

But we skittered through Mass on the toll road
First E, then N, then E;the robot voice ignored.
She never voiced her rage; calmly plotted on.

And the robot continued to steer us back to the country routes
U turns, hills, a satellite view from the clouds;
And we, like arrows, found our mark, stealthily on the ground.
