What Time Is

Findwindmills with a click.


All of that was so dizzying when it happened,

We look back and shiver.

Now if there's any light at all it knows

How to rest on the faces of friends.

And any people you don't like,

You just turn the page a little more

And wait while they find out what time is

And begin to bend lower; or

You can just turn away and let them

Drop off the edge of the world.
