unwinding clocks
meter out time
so baked loafs
come out golden
and work
doesn't consume you

accordion clocks
speed and slow down
depending where you're at
in the streams of time
likened to pools or runs
time can pile up
or drain away

Simple time
are like streams
complex time
are aqueducts
multiplex time
is like the ocean
encompassing everything
relevant to its passing
currents and storms
riptides and islands

even if one
ignores Father time
he will catch up
and give you a present
to unwrap upon waking

doing nothing
doesn't consume you
if time piles up
like the ocean
encompassing everything
relevant to its passing
giving one presents
