there were things he marked Time by

                                        he preferred not to be irritated by ticktock alarm clocks calendars datebooks which wasnt to say he didnt know what time it was or the day or date

                                                                              he absorbed it rather than piddled with it

he dug the moon its cycles  new  its slivers    FULL

the solstices 21 June 22 December

he loved the seasonsgrew up under them but living in semi-arid an becoming more arid California they were subtly dispensed with much like his ability now to taste  he needed to be punched in the mouth

    today the last apricots disappeared 

                                                  Time

he watched for poppies to bloom the awewisteria he raised from a seed to green its tendrils climb the white sage grown from a cutting to throwup shoots and flower the slender walnut shoot he planted leaf an grow taller a happy live oak thriving a gift of a squirrel   skinny he still didnt know wha she was her girth thickening but she remained lithe

Time is what people make of it

Time will never be long enough
