It is not real

lossmusicpoliticsmemorytimemortality

It is not real

Not an object

With mass

Cannot be tethered

Hindered

Destroyed or repurposed

It is invisible

Never returning

Even when called

Brooks no delay

Ringing a change

Even when nothing

Seems to happen

Use it well

Be wary of its ways

As its passing is inevitable

The result of an indefinite

Measure

When taken

It has always gone

It has past

Without future

Can never be stopped

Unlike a clock

It has no hands

Uncoiled spring

Or counterweight

It is not a pendulum

Or a stopwatch

It just is

Until one day

For you

It is not
