Bedevilled By Time

Time does not exist—
I look ahead and behind
I was there-here I am-I will be
See!  It isn’t time that changes
It is me.

PS - thanks for your comments on past-life nightmare, a true story. I think "Disposable Wisdom" still holds my records for the most reads though, and it was recently published internationally. I look forward to catching up when I get to Jersey. Love, Carolyn

Very profound, Harry! I love the irony in this poem. Time doesn't change; we do. I am still traveling to NJ. Stopped in Virginia tonight and have driven 900 miles so far. About 300 or more to go! Yikes. I was so glad to see you as the runner up to Mr. Poetry Soup on Chris's blog. We ladies would rather vote for men than other ladies and you have a very handsome photo posted! Frank Herrera has left the Soup to pursue painting for a while. More when I get to Jersey, Love, Carolyn

Ah, the existentalist via the Twilight Zone. But I like the wit at the end, Harry. It has the winning wink of the knowing comic. Regards from Gerard.
