TIME
roars down
a funnel: perches
like droplets of
spilled
wine: drifts like
a feather: poses
on a toe-shoe:
spoils
its dinner on
snacks: leaves
the party early:
leaves
the party late:
complains about
its age: growls like
a cougar:
revels in
debauchery—then
when you’re not
looking—
disappears like
an eely arrow of
thin black
road…
