N0 TIME


If time does not exist
when did this building rise to ten floors ?
 Did this store vacate overnight?
 Was this building ever occupied?
 Was this street corner suddenly a movie set?
 *
If time doesn't exist, do my lists matter,
is the calendar relevant, and does Buddha know?
 Did the phone ring, and was the message true?
 *
If Time doesn't exist, did Shiva ride a bull?
 Is poor-folks food real?
Is health food healthy?
 
 Will Calms be my forte',
and what did the snail mail guardian guard?
Has harry Potter learned to fly?
 *
Time, which does not exist, stood still
at Broome Street Temple
 A mother bowed her head
 Her child gazed at me,
then headed to the music.
 Timeless chanting began,
 and the tabla kept time,
though time did not exist.

we are all 'victims' of an 'illusion' which allows us to enjoy life.
