"Time is the thief you cannot banish."
                                   Phyllis Mc Ginley, Writer,  1905 - 1978


if you cannot beat them join the crowd of armed unkind robbers

otherwise you end up with identity fraud at the hands of the thugs

instead rule and divide the hourglass one step at every moment

synchronize what must be said and done and count the rewards


an imposed time machine is a wicked illusion and criminal offence

pick your own pockets calm rapid paces and speed up your apathy


turning tides do not steal pebbles from beaches

     the sun never asks where her rays have gone to

          moons follow their path without wondering when

                a waterfall keeps its composure even when falling


                cancel direct debit to people who don’t care for you

          standing orders are not written in hard grafted stone 
		
     debts can be cleared and overdrafts countervailed 
			
the only mortgage you have is to live to your tempo


a bit of rhythm helps when the pendulum swings backwards and forth

rhymes a chime for when the final bell takes its toll as the coffin lies vacant

if you have not filled it with meaning before permanence rests in the grave

a time sheet spread out over nothingness infringes upon the tick tock of joy


imposters can try as hard as they want to steel your dial

     will try to bend all the hands of fortune magic and fate but

          destiny comes from the springs rewound at every dawn

               vacant echoes will be enriched with challenging meter


               when the ultimate curtain unveils to your own applause

           as the poachers admit defeat and fall on swift swords
    
     feel free to mock burglars and mischievous muggers
		
a dead man’s pockets are full of victory’s memories
