I saw Len Hutton in his prime
Another time

All the time I pray to Buddha
All the time I pray to Buddha
I keep on
killing mosquitoes.

Last time, I think
Last time, I think,
I'll brush the flies
from my father's face.

Robert Herrick
Time was upon
Wrinkles no more are, or no less,
Than beauty turn'd to sourness.

Kobayashi Issa
In these latter-day
In these latter-day,
Degenerate times,
Cherry-blossoms everywhere!

Sometimes I'd walk
Sometimes I'd walk,
walk far from home,
the things I've seen,
and I alone.

Philip Larkin
This Is The First Thing
This is the first thing
I have understood:
Time is the echo of an axe
Within a wood.

Time Cures All
It was my shame, and now it is my boast,
That I have loved you rather more than most.

THE PRESENT TIME BEST PLEASETH
Praise, they that will, times past: I joy to see
Myself now live; this age best pleaseth me!

Friedrich von Schiller
The Immutable
Time flies on restless pinions--constant never.
Be constant--and thou chainest time forever.

Emily Dickinson
Sometimes with the Heart
Sometimes with the Heart
Seldom with the Soul
Scarcer once with the Might
Few -- love at all.

Every Time I Kiss You
Every time I kiss you
After a long separation
I feel
I am putting a hurried love letter
In a red mailbox.

Emily Dickinson
Parting with Thee reluctantly,
Parting with Thee reluctantly,
That we have never met,
A Heart sometimes a Foreigner,
Remembers it forgot --

The Lazy Roof
The Roof it has a Lazy Time
A-Lying in the Sun;
The Walls, they have to Hold Him Up;
They do Not Have Much Fun!

Faute De Mieux
Travel, trouble, music, art,
A kiss, a frock, a rhyme-
I never said they feed my heart,
But still they pass my time.

Emily Dickinson
Before He comes we weigh the Time!
Before He comes we weigh the Time!
'Tis Heavy and 'tis Light.
When He depart, an Emptiness
Is the prevailing Freight.

Duckweed Pond
Spring pond deep and wide
Time for the vessel’s return
Slow the duckweed flows together
Willows draw them apart again

Emily Dickinson
Too happy Time dissolves itself
Too happy Time dissolves itself
And leaves no remnant by --
'Tis Anguish not a Feather hath
Or too much weight to fly --

Ogden Nash
The Shrimp
A shrimp who sought his lady shrimp
Could catch no glimpse
Not even a glimp.
At times, translucence
Is rather a nuisance.

Emily Dickinson
Time's wily Chargers will not wait
Time's wily Chargers will not wait
At any Gate but Woe's --
But there -- so gloat to hesitate
They will not stir for blows --

Maya Angelou
Passing Time
Your skin like dawn
Mine like musk
One paints the beginning
of a certain end.
The other, the end of a
sure beginning.

Emily Dickinson
Time does go on --
Time does go on --
I tell it gay to those who suffer now --
They shall survive --
There is a sun --
They don't believe it now --

by
Emily Dickinson
Look back on Time, with kindly eyes --
Look back on Time, with kindly eyes --
He doubtless did his best --
How softly sinks that trembling sun
In Human Nature's West --

175. Epigram to Miss Jean Scott
O HAD each Scot of ancient times
Been, Jeanie Scott, as thou art;
The bravest heart on English ground
Had yielded like a coward.

Donner Party
Forsaken, fucking in the cold,
eating each other, lost
runny noses,
complaining all the time
like so many
people
that we know
