Neolithic Nonsense, It's About Time
Time told me,
that's how I know
nothing really ticks
the clock is putting on a show
circles with numbers
dictate your pace
please get your minutes
out of my face
clocked in but sorta clocked out........
scales weigh invisible things
perhaps your time is one of them
hour after hour the timekeeper keeps
spans or lifetimes
which do you prefer?
which did you live?
and would you do it all over again?
hands pointing to digits
that don't really exist
you want me to believe it begins and ends
with that thing on your wrist?
yeah sure,
space starts to fold in on itself
okay I guess I can sit here,
and watch your seconds melt
you got your weird shit, I got mine.....
Poppycock and peanuts
what the fuck is the opposite of time?
I'm so pissed this fucking thing rhymed.......

Time does not exist --- so its got no opposite ---- anyway --- that's my story and I`m sticking to it.
So -- whose fucking "year" do we follow?

My favourite stanza:
"hands pointing to digits
that don't really exist
you want me to believe it begins and ends
with that thing on your wrist?"
Loved this off-the-wall poem Nikki.
The opposite of time? dunno We know the speed of light but what's the speed of darkness the man asked just to be awkward! ;-)

“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.”
― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man
As for time, the opposite of time... hmmm. I think a hammock and a breeze. That's my answer.
I like the thoughts this poem creates, nikki. :)

im glad it rhymed. im gonna read this beautiful poem a few more times before i list it :D
opposite of time... eternity
since time pertains and exists for all those who are subject to it. eternity is therefore the opposite of time, since time has no say in that picture. i think. :P

A thinking poem.
I love this, I have no idea.
In some ways I think I'd like to live
without time, we obsess over it far too
much :)

Flow, rhyme, and interesting thought pattern. Ohhh yeah I like it! but...
What the crap! What IS the opposite of time?
If it has no opposite, is it even real? Doesn't there have to be an opposing thing? light/dark up/down on/off rise/fall ..wait, what's the opposite of space?.. not confinement - that's just cramped what? Space! Damn, brain fail! Good job, it just fell outta my ear.
Who needs drugs? Do it again, Nikki!

Eternity, I dunno. Our whole conceptual framework is based on time,our language..everything!

Yes! I LOVE exploring the basis behind the illusion of time. Nothing more than a manipulative scheme. Awesome work Nikki!

Fellow poet, from Detroit, have not heard from you for a while. You are a gifted poet. But sadly to say, time is like an arrow. It only goes one way, although "it can be in your face," as you say. Think of the difference, temporally, of waiting for the dentist and waiting for someone you love. In which scene does time travel faster, is more differentiated? Thanks for sharing this poem with me. I am always the better for reading your poetry.
