He says all poems are about time,
I have no answer for this, as usual.
It doesn’t seem true right off.
What about poems about the cat?
Of course, cats are the master
of time, long time.
The kind of time meditation teaches.
I tried to write about time once,
I forget now what I wanted to say.
It’s never that I know something
to tell,
but that I’m trying to find out.
I have the notes somewhere,
with all the other notes
I thought I didn’t have time
to finish.
