If time were human
would it want to hold on
for eternity?
Would it grasp for
the stars knowing of
their inevitable fate?
With vast sums of hours
for hands grabbing into
tenebrous obscurity.
A comet's tail slipping

it feel self-conscious about
forever growing in size?
Would it count asteroids
instead of calories
to reduce it's weight?
Other universes and planetary nebulae pointing and whispering about
it's belly being bigger than it's eyes.
Trying not to show off
it's favourite cascading multicoloured
galaxies in order to placate.
