the motion of objects through space

if time is something you invented to mark life’s sequence of events,

what is passing if not seconds?

i hear a penitent click on the wooden clock and think,

there is no click,

there are no seconds,

the future is an island where we send our one-day selves, that they may live there peacefully and work to learn their worth.
