The hands of time keep moving
Without stopping
or s-l-o-w-i-n-g down
But in my mind I’m drawn toward some surreal dream
To somewhere in –
- and out of memory
Maybe it’s the
nostalgia
Maybe it’s the
melancholy
Maybe it’s my
fondness for the sentimental of yesteryear
Perhaps the recollection of life
and times m

into an illusion
Born from the subconscious
Rising up to the surface
Time becomes relative

in my mind…
When something
Like
“The other day” may mean
-decades ago-
while recent fleeting moments |||| escape ||||
Only to be captured
By distorted colors
and purported words
I become entranced
O O
By \_ Dali _/
and his
interpretation
of mind
and
time
as the
persistence of memory
