Old Dumb Father Time
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
