This is the new change

This is the change accepted,
that the day is termed shorter by the virtue of being alive,

awake- these are two adjectives that are used
to describe the way you deal with the hurling

of a universe compact in one morning's load
of opening and shutting one's eyes

this is a new self-assurance that there will be
enough time to love, travel, see

there is time, for time
for the coming and the going of the pendulum

there is enough time to receive and give
a lot, a little, a mostly forgotten object-

False kisses like showers,
hailing on a turned out cheek

time to kill, time to discover
lucid concepts without cracking the shells along the way.
