Time <br />looking tense <br /> <br />puts us <br />in its little invisible boxes <br /> <br />presenting us <br />with a Future <br /> <br />already past <br /> <br />Black shiny lacquered boxes <br />all perfect unto themselves <br /> <br />& irrevocably closed. <br /> <br />But see, Love: <br />tiptoe from nowhere <br /> <br />& open each one <br />with a mischievous grin <br /> <br />so that like air <br />we flow from one to the other <br /> <br />& back again. <br /> <br /> <br />Time unable <br /> <br />to contain <br /> <br />us <br /> <br />any longer.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-timeless-time/
