Time is a contradiction,
a distinct barrier between 
now and when, or fact and
trend. If it is not a signal,
then it will be a sign. It is 
only time; time to waste
or to embrace as it is. 
Nothing stops time, not 
even the strongest mind. 
In that way we are then 
held hostage by the clock. 
In other ways it is our 
freedom to leave behind 
the wrongs of time. 
The clock on the wall, the 
watch on your wrist, 
always consistent and 
never a twist, not naturally.
Time is what we will see, 
in memory or reality.
