Saving Daylight

20 March 2023

When is there an end to it, the wailing
drone of time, the fleeting hours, days
or seconds of our lives, the nonstop blow
of death's lone foghorn? Not in this life

vanishment, and live as best we can. But
does it not belie our hubris that we dare
tune time itself for maximal efficiency?
