Knock-off Clepsydra


Humanity, with its habit
          of invention
can fastforwardthroughaday
          if they had, say, 
          a clepsydra
                    and an earthquake
One is easier to make
          than the other

Once filled, the water waits
          wicks, and spills
          with little mediation
Out, clumping, out onto the sand
          hours sloshed on grains
                    lost to a fault’s fault

This is how to cutaday|inhalf
          a sodden simple way
          unlimited to adage

Minutes easily evaporate
          leave you to explain
                    away appointments
          with what time will 
                    tell itself

You’ve lost only what’s 
          allotted, dimension t
          distended particular

It’s easy enough with effort—
          reference for luck and loss
                    but all that’s
out cannot be doubted
          back in
