Time is elastic

Time is elastic

The past lies in pieces

Its meaning disassembled

A broken clockface

Uncontainable

Insurmountable

Nothing is within easy reach

The future

A Möbius strip

Often disregarded

As a step too far

To contemplate

At full stretch.

For some

It is a well-grounded theory

Everyone is a participant

In some experiment

Or another

Unintentional observers

Lab rats

The scientific method

Adopted as a life skill

And a tentative

Working hypothesis

That states

It is better to be late

Than never to arrive.
