I’ve been thinking of Kronos lately
Old Father Time
a dumb god
with beads
and bucket

plink

plink

plink

just one after the other

is all he can do 

pile up the seconds

the minutes

the hours

the days

the months

and years

just a dumb god

plink

plink

plink

but every now and then the Infinate Other, the Eternal One

Father of light and all things good and joyous

maker of reality with a word

slips a karios into the pile Old Dumb Father Time

and that dumb god

just grabs it

plink

plink

plink

plunk

an opportune moment

the alignment of redemption

and I get to particpate
