POETRY, PROSE, AND POLITICS

Fiction, serious reality, and at times their interaction.

A BAG OF TIME

Of all the things of value,

time is the most precious,

more than paper money,

more than stocks or bonds,

more than a bag of gold or diamonds.

But time can not sit in its bag untouched.

It is inevitably disbursed,

and when my bag is empty,

I will be gone.
